DescriptionReal photo postcard of an inexplicable scene: A group of married, white women dressed up as if for a wedding photo with all but two wearing blackface. The women cross-dressing as men wear dark stocking caps in a caricature of black hair. The bride appears to be wearing a stocking over her face rather than makeup. The photo was taken in the parlor of a home. Back of card reads, Left - Mrs Ida Taylor, Mrs Harry Walker Right - Alice Baker Mrs. H K? Mrs. Clapp Mrs. Wiley? Mrs. Morris Mrs? Mrs. Brittain Mrs. Pfaff Center Minister Mrs. Leland Bride Mrs Morris Groom Mrs Wiley? The inclusion of this image in the SDHC online catalog is documentation for the historical record.
