Did You Know?

The singer in this image resembles Bessie Smith, the famous blues singer of the 1920s.
A horizontally oriented black-and-white lithograph depicts a woman with a light skin tone on a stage at our left. She wears a pale dress, her mouth open in a circle. A bright spotlight glows behind her. In the middle ground, five men with light skin tones sit behind a railing. To our right, another man in a light jacket carries a tray. Figures in the foreground look up at the performer.
