1897 1^ed Kemble Blackberries Adventures African American Caricatures RACISM

E.W. Kemble was a 19^th-century American illustrator who is best known for his sketches of black culture and African American men and women. ‘The Blackberries and their Adventures’ is a collection of illustrations depicting black children (i.e. ‘blackberries’) playing games and dancing. The book, intended for children, was written with significant racist views that would not be considered tolerable today; yet, this book does represent a culture reminiscent of a bygone American era.
