A fairly convoluted ad for shoe polish, wherein black people can function as servants but don’t understand reflections for some reason (was this believable even in 1825?) I’m not going to transcribe it, I’m just going to stick with the image. I have no idea what this has to do with the Battle of Minden, but there you go. A reference is a reference.

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse…A Visit from St. Nicholas was first published in 1823.
