What reading level is Making Up book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If it be desired to experiment with wrinkles for an old darkey, mark them in with black, which will, of course, be evi- dent upon a brown complexion. On either side of this black line, which is drawn to represent the wrinkle, edge it top and bottom with white. Do not blend, as in a short time the white will soon fade, producing the desired effect.
The make-up used for female characters is identical with that employed in represent- ing male types of the negro and the various offshoots of his rac...e. This includes the old "mammy," who flourished in ante-bellum days ; "Topsy," with her eccentricities and her kinky wig and plantation women of every kind down to the female fashion plate of latter-day "cullud sassiety." STELLA MAYHEW THE MINSTREL NEGRO.
AS AUNT LINDY IN "s W A N E E RIVER." Burnt cork and minstrelsy are almost synonymous terms, presumably because burnt cork is the accepted article for mak- ing up the minstrel. How burnt cork first became used for this TYPES AND NATIONALITIES purpose is not generally known, but an inference can be drawn that prob- ably does not come far from the truth.
