Depicts Abraham Parsons, also known as Abe Bunter. Abe was an African American and former slave who lived in Williamstown, Massachusetts. He worked as a janitor at Williams College. Abe was famous for his ability to split materials apart with his "hard head" by means of headbutting. He was often cruelly encouraged to display this talent by locals.
