Frontispiece, Amy Leslie at the Fair

Fig. 51. Amy Leslie, Frontispiece, Amy Leslie At the Fair. Chicago: Conkey, 1893. Buffalo Bill Center of the West.

From Fashion Nation: Picturing the United States in the Long Nineteenth Century by Sandra Tomc

A cartoon vignette that appears on the frontispiece of Amy Leslie’s account of the fair. It represents Leslie with her journalist’s pass, which is shaped like a giant star, held out in front of her, beaming out rays of light and blocking out sight of her face and upper body while racial and national caricatures cringe and kneel in a semi-circle behind her.
