The Ancrum School Glee Club...[caption title]

[N.p., probably Boston, 1920. Very good.. Photographically-illustrated trade card, on stiff cardstock, 3.25 x 5.5 inches. Minor wear and toning. A handsome promotional card for the Ancrum School Glee Club, an African-American singing group based in Boston. The card is comprised of a photographic image of twenty-two tuxedoed young African American males covering about three-fourths of the space, with printed text at left. Estelle Ancrum Forster founded the Ancrum School of Music at 74 West Rutland Square in Boston in 1905, and advertised in a few editions of The Negro Motorist's Green Book, as late as 1941. The school appears to have served African American students. Forster was, according to the sixth edition of Who's Who in Colored America, a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music.
