- Lot Description
TAFT (Albert Sachse). Taft. The Comedy-Wizard. Frankfurt: Graph. Kunstanst. Block & Schmidt, ca. 1910s. Color lithographed poster depicting the elegantly-dressed magician conjuring a duck from a flaming pan with rabbits scurrying about at his feet. 34 ? x 23 ??. Gilt wooden frame (minor chips). Slightest wear along folds. A. This is the earliest lithograph we have encountered that advertises the performance of a ?comedy? magician. While other posters from magic?s ?Golden Age? show magicians, like Leon Bosco, in funny poses, and others heralded ?roars of laughter? generated by the performers they advertised, we have found no other images identifying the magician depicted as a comedian.
