The title *Uncle Ned and I* pairs a narrator with an older companion, and its phrasing echoes the affectionate "Uncle" nicknames common in nineteenth-century American song and minstrel material. The record dates the print to c1883 (December 26) and carries a U.S. Copyright Office deposit number, which indicates it was submitted for copyright registration. A shelflist card links the item to a name, Wilcox, though the record marks that attribution as unverified. Such titles often relied on sentimental stereotypes of Black men as dependent figures, a habit worth keeping in mind when viewing the image.
