Six designs on one plate arranged in two rows, with borders in which the inscriptions are engraved. Johnny is a smartly dressed young man. There is a landscape background in Nos. 1 and 3 (in which Johnny wears a top-hat and top-boots). In Nos. 2, 4, 5 a boarded floor indicates an interior. [1] With folded arms and bowed head he approaches from behind a hideous and grinning negress who holds a tobacco-pipe. Above: Smitten with the charms of Mimbo Wampo a sable Venus, daughter of Wampo Wampo, King of the Silver Sand Hills in Congo. [2] Bare-legged he sits in a chair, his bare foot held by the negress who sits on the ground at his feet. Above: Delicately declaring his Love to the aimable Mimbo Wampo, while she is picking his Cheqoes. "You lub me Massa" eh! eh!? [3] Johnny and an old negro wearing only breeches face each other. Beside the latter is a large jar inscribed Feathers, Grave Dirt, Egg Shells, &c. Above: Consulting Old Mumbo Jumbo the Oby Man, how to get possession of the charming Mimbo Wampo. "Lets me alone for dat Massa." [4] He kneels at the feet of the negress taking her hand; she sits on a stool smoking a pipe. Four comparatively handsome women stand in a row watching, two are black, two are white but negroid. Above: Mr Newcome happy, Mimbo made Queen of the Harem. [5] He embraces Mimbo; two other negresses stand behind her, one holding two pale-skinned black-haired infants, the other with a third infant held on her head in a tray.
