[Curiosity] Pair of Skull Optical Illusion Cabinet Cards. Circa 1880s. Two albumen prints on original studio mounts featuring an illusion; up close, two young girls and their dog are playing with their toys; far away, the image appears to be that of a human skull. One advertises for the William Deering Company’s (Chicago) harvesting machinery, titled “The Beginning and the End of Life”. 6 ½ x 4 ¼”. Mild browning at margins; very good.
