Have you any flesh coloured silk stockings, young man?" / engd. by Chas. Hunt
Derogatory depiction of an African American woman buying "flesh coloured silk stockings" in a hosiery store from a well-dressed white male with a French accent. The woman is standing at the counter in a yellow floral patterned dress and a huge blue hat adorned with yellow flowers and pink ribbon. She uses her monocle to inspect the black colored stockings that the clerk is holding and which he has declared are of "de first qualité!"
