EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print, titled "A Skinner Skinned," dates back to March 22, 1884, and depicts an African American man in a humorous yet cringeworthy moment in a shoemaker's shop. The man, seated on a stool, is trying on a new boot, but to his misfortune, he puts his foot through the bottom of it. The force of his fall knocks over not only himself but also the stove behind him and the stereotyped Jewish cobbler, who is hit in the nose with the sole of the boot. The cobbler's shocked reaction is captured in the expression on his face, "Oh! mein gootness! der bottom ish knocked out," a common Yiddish exclamation indicating surprise or disbelief. The print's title, "A Skinner Skinned," is a reference to the man being "skinned" or humiliated in front of others. Although the print is amusing, it also highlights the stereotypes of the time, with the African American man and the Jewish cobbler both portrayed in a caricatured manner. The print serves as a reminder of the complex and often problematic racial and ethnic dynamics of the past.
