Potentially controversial image used in article[edit]

The article on the Polyphon is illustrated by several photographs. One of them shows one of the music discs that the instrument plays. The title of the song is shown clearly on the face of the disk and is "Little Alabama Coon". I suggest that this title could be provocative or even distressing to some readers, and so I am asking for guidance and opinions on whether this image should perhaps be removed to avoid controversy, or to come with a warning.

The song is mentioned on the Wikipedia page of its author, Hattie Starr, but with a disclaimer that it was "not considered racist or negative at the time". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bcoxhead (talkcontribs) 22:15, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
