1795 White Negress Circus Sideshow Slavery Token
This is a scarce conder token with a full figure of a black woman standing on the obverse with the legend, \"MRS. NEWSHAM THE WHITE NEGRESS.\" On the reverse is, \"TO BE HAD AT THE CURIOSITY HOUSE CITY ROAD NEAR FINSBURY SQUARE LONDON 1795.\" This token measures 30mm.
This is the earliest exploitation of race used for advertising. In fact, this token has two unique attributes: first token or medal that depicts a black woman in \"white\" culture setting; first token or medal that depicts a biracial woman (\"white negress\" = half black, half white). You will be able to find 50 of those anti-slavery, kneeling slave tokens before you find one of these tokens. This token is very underrated!
Our piece has excellent brown color and is in high grade. Reverse center weakly struck as usual with a small stain.Nice one! This issue just does not come any better than this.
