Illustration for "George Washington Jones: A Christmas Gift That Went A-Begging"
creator
Edward Henry Potthast
Description
Demeaning racial stereotyping persisted in American culture long after the Emancipation Proclamation, as evidenced by Ruth McEnery Stuart’s <i>George Washington Jones</i>. In this sentimental novel, a young African American orphan finds his way in Reconstruction-era New Orleans by emulating his late, enslaved grandfather, who had been given as a Christmas present to be the personal servant of the master’s daughter. In Edward Henry Potthast’s illustration, the protagonist checks his bedraggled appearance before calling on potential employers and laments, “Wush’t I was a little purtier.” In what is presented as a happy twist of fate, George gets hired by the same family his grandfather served. Stuart’s stories gained widespread popularity in her day for their vivid portrayals of southern characters and dialects. A tale such as <i>George Washington Jones</i> also functioned to assuage white audiences’ anxieties about postwar racial tensions by suggesting that blacks were content to reproduce old social hierarchies and patterns of faithful servitude under slavery.<br /><p>Object metadata can change over time, please check the Brooklyn Museum <a href="http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/439/Illustration_for_George_Washington_Jones%3A_A_Christmas_Gift_That_Went_A-Begging" rel="nofollow">object record</a> for the latest information.</p>
