- Abstract:
- Racist caricature lampooning the inept attempt by African Americans to mimic the leisure culture of white high society depicting an African American tea party hosted by "Mr. Ludovico" and "Miss Rosabella." To the far right of the table, "Miss Rosabella" pours steaming hot tea into a cup which tips over and spills onto a startled cat on the floor. To her right, "Mr. Ludovico" attends to the needs of "Miss Araminta" who protests his taking the trouble. Next to them, a disgruntled guest demands "anoder cup" of tea. An African American servant and the other guests, a mother holding her baby and her small son, observe and comment about the spilled tea on the cat and the flirtatious behavior of "Mr. Ludovico."
