  1. Racist imagery in the Darktown Comics series

    Currier and Ives published numerous prints that mocked African Americans through demeaning stereotypes. The Darktown Comics series was among the firm's best-selling comic lines, making the issue central to modern assessments of the company's cultural legacy. The prints are now treated as racist historical artifacts rather than neutral representations of American life.
