ANONYME African Conservatory. Work of the Crèches. Mardi Gras. Circa 1890. Lithographic poster. No mention of a printer. Covered, good condition: bright and fresh colours. 78 x 44 cm History: "In 1876, a nursery in Brussels is on the verge of bankruptcy. People get together and decide to create the African Conservatory and raise money to save this crèche. In order to preserve their anonymity, they disguise themselves as black people: their faces are blackened and their costume is composed of a white top hat, a black suit and brightly coloured baggy trousers. The nursery is saved."
