1875 |
 c. 1875, a philatelic pastiche: Dockstader minstrels card. A pastiche is a work of art that imitates the style of some
previous work. In this example, the inspiration was drawn from the Liberty Head postal card of 1875. Created as an advertising piece for professional minstrel, Lew Dockstader, the card portrays images of Blacks and has a message on the reverse
promoting a popular patent medicine. This card was written up in an accompanying article in the November 1995 issue of The American Philatelist. An exceedingly scarce card, ex Charles Fricke. (Image)
