- Abstract
-
A view of a room in which five black workers in loincloths and two with red caps prepare tobacco by dipping it in a chamber pot as three white men charactured in pants and thin waists and with startled faces look in. A sixth black man is being sick into a pot as he leans against the barrel on the left is stamped "Hospital tub"; a speech bubble above his head reads "Wha [...] tink! de smell make me sick. The man to his right replies, "You mak'a nice ting for Massa Poodle to suck!" The white man to his right says "Oh the Negro, is that the way they make the high flavored cigars, I'll never suck another." The black man center holds his nose and says "Fever mak'a de liquor much strong." A white leaning in from the right says "the fithy rascals high flaver'd indeed, ugh!" A black man in the far right rolling the tobacco into cigars, foreground, answers, "Sok'a well sok'a well. Massa Buckra like plenty flavour." A monkey looks down from the rafters
