Cartoon of small jazz band in New Orleans, 1922

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Cartoon published in the New Orleans Item, 2 February 1922, caricaturing 3 African-American musicians playing at Tom Anderson's Cafe on Rampart Street. They are depicted with the racist "darkey" stereotype caricature common in depiction of African-Americans at the time.

Per the newspaper description:

"The music stops. The plump cornetist, drawing his green eyeshade low upon his face, promptly falls asleep. The pianiste argues about a friend who, it appears, has achieved incarceration in jail. A ragged newsboy passes from table to table with the morning paper."

The musicians are not named in the accompanying text article. From historic sources and oral history, likely personnel is Louis Armstrong, cornet; Paul Dominguez, violin; Edna Francis or possibly Wilhelmina Bert, piano.
