Laughing gas

Book • 1874
Laughing Gas is a Negro burlesque sketch written by Charles White.

It is part of the minstrel show tradition, which was a form of entertainment popular in the United States during the 19th century.

Minstrel shows often featured comedic skits, songs, and dances, typically performed by white actors in blackface or by African American performers.

The sketch likely reflects the stereotypical portrayals common in minstrelsy.
