The Wonderful Male Prima Donna Mr. Fred Malcom
This illustration, which is likely the cover of a piece of sheet music, advertises a "Johnson & Slavin's Refined Minstrels" show featuring "The Wonderful Male Prima Donna Mr. Fred Malcom," who is described as "The Reigning Favorite of Europe and America." The main illustration depicts Malcolm performing outside at night in an elaborate dress. On the left is a small inset image of Malcolm in masculine clothing.
