Uncle Tom
Uncle Tom
Thiskind-hearted negro, the idol of children, devout and forbearing, has ever made a profound appeal to me.
The make-up is in many respects similar to that of Othello. In fact exactly the same instructions may be followed for shaping the nose.
The wig, beard and moustache, eyebrows and the colour of the face, give it of course an entirely different character.
The ground is of brown, with a little 13 added to give it warmth. Great care should be taken to get this colour well to the edges of the eyes or you will look more like the minstrel type of negro than that variety which was found on the plantations of Kentucky.
The hands and arms, neck and ears, should all be carefully made up.
