Racist trade card promoting wheelwrights the Goodwin Brothers and depicting caricatures of African Americans picking cotton on a plantation. In the left, an African American man, attired in a hat, a blue plaid shirt, blue and white striped pants, and brown shoes, kneels on the ground and picks cotton off of a plant. To his left is a large basket overflowing with cotton. In the right, two barefooted African American boys, attired respectively in beige pants rolled up to the knees and a blue shirt and blue pants rolled up to the knees and a white shirt, each hold the end of a rope (probably a jump rope). They look in alarm and exclaim “Whoa! Aunty!” as an African American woman who has tripped on the rope flies in the air. The woman, attired in a white shirt with blue polka dots, a blue plaid shirt, and black shoes, throws both her hands in front of her with her mouth open as she falls toward the ground. Her basket full of cotton is flung through the air. In the background are four other cotton pickers, one man carries a basket on his right shoulder and a woman raises both her arms up. Brothers James K. Goodwin (1844-1910) and Charles W. Goodwin (1853-1943) were wheelwrights in Manchester, New Hampshire.
