An unusual figure of Jim Crow standing on a circular-coloured base, possibly from one of the Scottish Potteries. He is holding his left hand to his head and his right is raised to his side, wearing hat, jacket, shirt, neckerchief, waistcoat and patched trousers. The source of this figure is from an illustrated music front entitled ‘Jim Crow’, sung by Mr T Rice, with the most unbounded applause at the Surrey Theatre, arranged with an accompaniment for the pianoforte. This example is in original condition having a minor chip to the hat, no other damage, repairs, or restoration, c1830’s.
