1920's Large photograph of a black faced minstrel show on Broadway during the height of this racist form of entertainment. It is incredible to think in today's society that this was not only tolerated, but celebrated on the biggest stages of New York and on the silver screen of Hollywood, but this photo is a reminder of how vile the past was at times. An important piece of entertainment history, this is in fine condition and encapsulated by PSA as a Type 1.
