A section of a music sheet cover. The Ethiopian Serenaders were an American troupe of blackface minstrels who performed for President John Tyler at the White House in 1844. When they toured England 1846-7 they were mistaken for real black men and had to publish portraits of themselves without make-up.

Stanwood (accordion) and Francis Carr Germon (tambourine).
