EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library captures a piece of history from the late 19th century - a set of five black-and-white minstrel scrapos still joined together as they were originally sold. These historical artifacts provide a glimpse into the world of minstrelsy, a form of entertainment that was popular in America during this time period. The image showcases the intricate details and craftsmanship of these scrapos, which would have been used by performers to entertain audiences with music and comedy. Despite their controversial nature today, minstrel shows were once widely attended by visitors seeking amusement and diversion. As we reflect on this snapshot from the past, it is important to acknowledge the complex legacy of minstrelsy and its impact on American culture. While these scrapos may no longer be used for their intended purpose, they serve as a reminder of an era when racial stereotypes were perpetuated through popular entertainment. Through prints like this one, Mary Evans Picture Library preserves moments in history that provoke thought and reflection. This particular image invites viewers to consider the significance of these artifacts within the broader context of cultural heritage and societal norms.
