THE JUGGLER
This is an
AUTHENTIC 137 Year Old Photogravure
published in 1883 by Gebbie & Co. It is printed on a heavy-weight paper and is blank on the reverse. The print is in very good condition with the image area crisp, with just a little foxing (very little). It is titled in the lower margin.
Image area 10 3/8"x5" - paper size: 14"x9 1/4".
Accompanying the print is a nice description of the piece. Some of which states
:
'The actors, in the lively scene before us, various classes of society and types of mind are presented. The ladies in the foreground exhibit an amused surprise; the humbler woman beside them betrays a more serious wonderment, while the mother on her left appears to sympathize with the alarm of her children. The men in this group are disposed to be jocular over the performance. An old schoolmaster marches by with his scholars; he is absorbed in his book- possibly is seeking light upon the dark arts. Beyond him two philosophers are apparently speculating on the mysteries of mind and matter. Finally, while one of the jugglers amuses the crowd, the other does not forget to solicit their contributions; for even magicians, strange to say! cannot live without money.'
This measures approx. 10 1/2"x14 1/2"

Milbourne Christopher even liked this image, so much, he featured it on the content page of his book: "Panorama of Magic". The book isn't part of this offering.
Imagine how nice this would look framed and hanging on your wall.
