Pen and brush. 13.5 x 8.25 inches. SHOULD BE SEEN. Boston(?), nd E200/300 The company stayed at this hotel; their names and rooms are all indicated. Beneath large colored letters, a stereotypical depiction of what is probably "Mr. Interlocutor," a key figure in minstrel show humor. Well done by pen and brush in various colors.
