Image of a full-length side portrait of American magician Edwin Brush waving a magician's wand over a cauldron with smoke and flames and surrounded by a red devil with a mustache, a smaller devil with horns, a lizard, a snake, a dragon, a scared black cat, a white rabbit, a duck, a black bird, bats, a witch flying on a broomstick outside an open window, and an owl sitting with a quill pen, a book, and candlestick. Probable date approximated by cataloger; newspaper articles indicate Brush toured regularly in the 1910s into the 1920s. "Goes / Litho. Co / Chicago"--text, bottom left of image.
