- Description
- A half-page comic-strip with four panels, each with a caption in verse form. These depict a well-dressed Black man looking into a mirror and preparing for a photographic portrait, which is then taken by a white photographer, using a tripod-mounted bellows camera. Next the man is shown the negative of the image and the text describes how he much admires his apparently white skin. Finally, bitter disappointment follows when he sees the final print in which he is “as black as the day he was born”.
