"Wm. O'Brien the Dance Producer."
Original vintage poster advertising Field's minstrel shows. Field's minstrel shows traveled across the country and ultimately made him millions. Minstrelsy was one of the most popular forms of American entertainment in the 19th Century. A shameful yet significant part of this country's past, this poster is a living testament to the long history of racism in American entertainment.
