And the other one's a racial stereotype! Poor thing, he wouldn't even know what to do with them! In fact, we gave him some and he tried to EAT THEM! Those crazy darkies.

Actually, it's this fellow:

pl489 MINER

He comes from this page:

pl489 mining-b

...out of an 1850s German encyclopedia, reprinted as The Complete Encyclopedia of Illustration. It's been a great clip-art source for me.

I love how bottom guy is cocking a suave eyebrow at the ethnic stereotype not trying to fit in with these shoes.

Or maybe he's cocking a suave eyebrow and trying to make a little loooove connection.

I think you've spotted the real pipe smoker in this bunch.

The text appears to be saying that our native friend would be interested in swapping out family members for Van Heusan shirts.

YOu know, that was my first thought. But after applying some logic from Seasame Street, I realised...it's dude with the pipe. He's the only blond, and the only one with a pipe. All the other dudes have black hair and no pipe. Clearly, it's Blond Dude.

Dude with the pipe totally doesn't want some oxfords. He's got a pipe. What's he need oxfords for?
