I am looking for documented examples, preferably in collections or in situ
at historic sites. By way of definition for my purposes, a lawn jockey
could be a hitching post and/or lantern post in the following styles: the
traditional lithe, elegant figure, white or black; the caricature style (I
don't think it requires any description); a "slave boy" in that sort of
garb; a "slave boy" perched on bales of cotton (if you know of one of these,
please advise ASAP); and a "Chinese coolie" stereotype. Also any ephemera
relating to production and distribution of said objects.
Documentation is pretty important for this search, particularly in terms of
date.
Also, would be very interested if there are any UGRR relationships with lawn
jockeys in your collection (already aware of the famous existing tales).
Thanks SO MUCH,
Candace Perry
