Advertising Card Scrapbook Page 76 with African Americans

Scrapbook page containing six small advertising cards arranged around a newspaper or magazine cut-out. This cut-out is 20 x 26 cm. and shows what appears to be a political cartoon of an African American woman in high heels and revealing feathered dress on a beach with the following poem: "Lili to Grover. You listened to my DOLE-ful tale;/ You tried your best--'twas no avail./ It's through no fault of yours or mine/ That I can't be your VALENTINE." Below image it says:."(The above PENNY VALENTINE was included in the last mail from Hawaii, but through some mistake was not transmitted to the senate.." The small cards are all cut to shape and show African Americans eating, grooming, and bathing.
