1880s?
Two political cartoons which use the idea of the minstrel show and circus to lampoon the actions of the Canadian government. Compare the sketch of George Brown (with big feet and banjo) to the ONTRAD entry "Harriston Tune Book Cover". I suspect they're both parodies of another popular image that may have been in circulation at the time.
