- Abstract:
- Racist caricature lampooning the inept attempt by African Americans to mimic the leisure culture of white high society depicting an African American tea party hosted by "Mr. Ludovico" and "Miss Rosabella." To the far right of the table, "Miss Rosabella" pours steaming hot tea into a cup which tips over and spills onto a startled cat on the floor. To her right, "Mr. Ludovico" attends to the needs of "Miss Araminta" who protests his taking the trouble. Next to them, a disgruntled guest demands "anoder cup" of tea. An African American servant and the other guests, a mother holding her baby and her small son, observe and comment about the spilled tea on the cat and the flirtatious behavior of "Mr. Ludovico."

- Abstract:
- "In an ornate foreshortened bed which is the centre of the design, propped against a frilled pillow, is a lady, dismayed at the sight of a grotesque infant which a nurse (right) holds out to her. Her husband (left) is a grotesque dandy, wearing a small top-hat on bunched-out hair, and with a heavy black moustache, and whiskers which meet, projecting from the chin. He inspects the child, looking through an eye-glass in the handle of a riding-switch. The infant is a little replica, heavily bearded, of its father, and holds up a similar switch; it wears a trimmed chemise with spurred boots. The father: Is it possible that I can be the Author of such an Eccentric production. The mother: Oh the little Brute! Who can doubt that when they see the horrid Likeness. The nurse: Brute indeed! why its a perfect angel And the very model of his Pa! Oh who can help Longing to Kiss him. A fashionable interior is indicated."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- A scene with a group of mourners in a landscape, a palm tree to the left with a monkey watching and pointing to the drama. A man standing to the right reads from a book; three other figures, another man and a woman with a child on her back weep as they watch two men lower the deceased into the grave. The man on the right says, "How precious pale he look in de face." The other man holding the other end of the stretcher says, "Aye-Aye, him be no Moor."
- Description:
- Title etched below image., Later state of a plate first published by Gabriel Shire Tregear in 1834, the year in which the Slavery Abolition Act came into force. The original print was one of twenty caricatures with the series title 'Tregear's Black Jokes'. The prints developed the theme of the earlier 'Life in Philadelphia' caricatures (of which Tregear published copies), lampooning the social aspirations of Philadelphia's black population. After Tregear's death, the plates for 'Tregear's Black Jokes' passed to his former shopman Thomas Crump Lewis (1808-81), whose publication line is on this later state. The three mentions of Tregear's name on the plate have either been changed to Lewis's or simply effaced., Dated 1860 by the Library of Congress, but Hickman suggests that the prints were issued before that date., "Catalogue of prints"--Etched in lower right corner., and Sheet trimmed to plate mark.
