1936 in Delaware

The Expedition in Pursuit of Rare Meats is a mural by the English painter Rex Whistler (1905 -1944) commissioned in 1926 and completed in 1927 at the Tate Gallery in London by the museum's first director (monikered "The Keeper of the Tate"), Charles Aitken for the re-opening of the institution's restaurant where to this day it forms the entire interior surround of what is now the eponymously named eatery, "The Rex Whistler Restaurant". The work has been at the center of controversy in recent years over the artist's depiction of a black child chained to and running behind a horse and cart and images of Chinese people deemed to read as stereotypical. When the restaurant re-opened with the mural completed it was described by its publicity as "the most amusing room in Europe". However the organization "the White Pube" began a campaign against the mural on Instagram . The Tate stated in response "“it is important to acknowledge the presence of offensive and unacceptable content and its relationship to racist and imperialist attitudes in the 1920s and today.”
