Title - Alternative

Topsies and Evas Dessert

Description

Magazine advertisement for "six new desserts" by Elizabeth Woody. Caption: "Topsies' and 'Evas' I call these... Because, like the irrepressible Topsy in Uncle Tom's Cabin, three are decided brunettes... while the other three, like the angelic Little Eva, are delectable blondes. Six new desserts—do try them!" Second page: "It's all done with lemons". Stereotyped images of black and white girls are represented, and black dialect is also used in the ad. Sunkist tips and tricks on things to do with lemons.
