Simple addition by a little nigger
A children's counting book published by McLoughlin Brothers in New York in 1876, credited to 'Uncle John' and aimed at young readers. Its chromolithographed pictures show Black children in stock scenes of picking apples, doing sums on a slate, and a church gathering, with rhyming verse beneath each plate; the printed racial caricature is offensive and a designer would mainly read it as a dated example of 1870s colour lithography and sequential layout.
