* Slavery & racism. "Alligator Bait`, c.1897, b & w photograph of nine negro children, printed title in separate mount aperture below image, 140 x 520mm, mounted, framed and glazed. A disturbing social document indicative of the casual and ingrained racism which was so very prevalent in the southern states of America. There are contemporary written accounts of black children being used as bait for alligators but the term was more widely used as a derogatory description for all black children. The state of Florida used variations of this image for over fifty years on souvenirs and postcards and as a marketing tool for various products including fans, liquorice drops and stain remover. The alligator with a child in its mouth was also used in a three dimensional form as a music cover, bottle opener and a pencil holder. That an American state should choose to promote and market itself to tourists with such an overt violent and racist conceit is extraordinary but is perhaps all too indicative of the casual insidious racism which shamed the southern United States well into the 20th century.
