content: Print of a photograph of the K of P Minstrels taken at the Piketon Opera House in Piketon, Ohio in 1927. The photograph shows a line of costumed performers onstage in front of several backdrops painted to appear like a cave. The central figure, probably the interlocutor, is flanked on both sides by five men in satin uniforms and four performers in blackface minstrel costume holding tambourines. The orchestra, in the foreground, are holding their instruments, including a saxophone, banjo, piano, trombone, and two trumpets. Names of the performers are listed on the verso.
