Black Servant Offering Coffee to a Turkish Sultan19th century A vibrant hand-colored lithograph by possibly Augusto Grossi, likely published in the 19th-century Italian satirical magazine "Il Papagallo," depicting an exaggerated caricature of a kneeling Black servant in red military livery offering a steaming cup of coffee to a rotund Turkish official in a green turban and Ottoman dress. While visually striking in its bold color and draftsmanship, the print reflects the racial and cultural stereotypes commonplace in European satirical illustration of the period. Unframed. 14 x 17" $140-180
