Note:
|
|
| In this cartoon, the black woman on the right
is depicted as a lady of beauty, refinement, and
wealth (or at least middle-class respectability).
On the left, the Irish-American woman (safely
assumed to be Catholic) is stereotyped with simian
features and working-class attire. A servant or
housewife, Mrs. McCaffraty has been to the market to purchase fresh
produce and fish. Her basket also holds two
bottles of alcohol, frequently associated with
Irish-Catholics. The bracketed remark lets viewers
know that she represents the type of disreputable
person who opposes black manhood suffrage. See
also the note on "Study from
Nature." |
