| Description | Print shows six circular labels, possibly intended for the top of a round container of blacking paste, showing a man shielding his eyes as he reaches for a boot, freshly blacked with "St. Crispin's celebrated vegetable paste blacking" from an African American man; text around the outer edge of the label states: "St. Crispin's Celebrated Vegetable Paste Blacking, Made & Sold at C. Schrack's Varnish & Paint Store, No. 80, N. Fourth St. Philad." Also included on this sheet are six corresponding rectangular labels that show a beehive and include the text for the "Directions for use", concluding "if the above directions are attended to, one box of this blacking will last at least as long as two boxes of any other blacking now in use." |
