1915WRCAM46826N.p. 1915. Photographic card 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches. Upper right corner bumped. Lightly foxed. Very good. Illustrated advertisement card showing a photograph of African-American ragtime musician John William "Blind" Boone and his manager John Lange looking quite dapper in trench coats and hats. Boone rests his hand atop a cane while Lange somewhat surreptitiously holds onto his arm for the photo. Boone's left hand is tucked jauntily into a vest pocket. The text below the photograph is reprinted from the KANSAS CITY SUN of Dec. 5 1914. It reads: "The most astute dignified and successful manager of the race and the greatest living musical prodigy who have journeyed together in the Blind Boone Concert Company thirty-five years a record unsurpassed or equalled by any other company white or colored in America. Both are philanthropic generous and kind hearted to such a degree that they are loved by their race throughout the length and breadth of America." Blind Boone was the son of a former slave and a Union Army bugler born at the end of the Civil War. At the age of six a surgeon removed his eyes to relieve pressure on his brain during a fever. Despite this he was a musical prodigy and became one of the great ragtime composers of the era. unknown books
