A cabinet card photograph features performers Florence Duley and Daisy Toudy as “Gip & Meg” in the theatrical production “Rebecca’s Triumph.” Captured by photographer C. A. Goodrich of Creighton, Missouri, the image highlights the duo in character. The production and performance style reflect the popular yet controversial entertainment trends of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The card provides a glimpse into the history of American theater and the use of racial stereotypes in entertainment, offering both historical insight and a critical reflection of the cultural context of the time.
