Title: My Hannah Lady : Whose Black Baby Is You?
Description: New York: Jos. W. Stern & Co, 1899. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Sheet Music. This is oversized sheet music. The music is in Fair condition - but is complete. The edges of the covers and the inner pages have chipping and edge tears. The spine of the covers has completely split. While not much is published about the composer of this song, it seems that Dave Reed, Jr. Was following in his father's shoes - Dave Reed Sr. worked in / with minstrel shows for some period of time. Most of Dave Jr's works involve minstrelsy or are about African American men and women. "The minstrel show, also called minstrelsy, was an American form of racist entertainment developed in the early 19th century. Each show consisted of comic skits, variety acts, dancing, and music performances that depicted people specifically of African descent. The shows were performed by mostly white people in make-up or blackface for the purpose of playing the role of black people. There were also some African-American performers and black-only minstrel groups that formed and toured. Minstrel shows lampooned black people as dim-witted, lazy, buffoonish, superstitious, and happy-go-lucky." (from Wikipedia). Fair .
