A reproduction of a concert poster promoting a "blind negro boy pianist" traveling and performing. The date on the poster is Monday, November 16, 1888. The poster proclaims that Blind Tom can play long difficult piano pieces after hearing them only once, and that he can even do it sitting backwards at the piano!
