A historically significant 6 x 8-inch silver print mounted on board, depicting a minstrel group posed in a formal indoor setting. The image captures over two dozen performers, dressed in elaborate costumes and theatrical attire, seated and standing within a decorated room. Chandeliers, framed artwork, and wooden benches serve as the backdrop, adding depth and context to the composition.

This photograph represents a performance tradition that, while culturally influential in its time, reflects a complex and controversial aspect of entertainment history. The performers’ attire and the group’s formal arrangement emphasize the era’s emphasis on pageantry and staged productions.
