'Blackville', 1878.Artist: Solomon Eytinge
'Blackville', 1878. Part of a series: a post-emancipation debate on Darwinism. African Americans are here caricatured in a racist fashion as illiterate and ape-like. The artist has made the speaker resemble a gorilla, thus subverting Darwin's theory that humans are descended from apes. Illustration from Adventures of America, 1857-1900, by John A Kouwenhoven, published by Harper & Brothers, (New York, London, 1938).
