Salon de Magie: The Klosterman Collection Part I

Blackstone, Harry (Henry Boughton). Photograph of Blackstone’s Hands, Signed and Inscribed Twice. Hartsook photo, ca. 1919. Unusual image of Blackstone’s hands, the right holding a fan of cards and the left plucking the Jack of Diamonds from the fan at its fingertips. 10 x 8", inscribed and signed in the image by Blackstone, “a pair / Blackstone’s / hands / at 34.” Blackstone has inked a poem to the verso titled, “S’posen,” and signed his name underneath. Short tear at one end, else very good.
