TREWEY, Félicien (1848 – 1920). PORTRAITS OF FÉLICIEN TREWEY. Paris: Photo du Globe, ca. 1890. Four images of the famed French juggler, pantomimist, and magician with a newspaper in his hands; in the fourth image, he reacts to the news. Boudoir card format with photographer’s printed mount, 8 ½ x 5 1/8”. Old notation in lower margin, minor foxing. Though best remembered as a variety entertainer of great skill – Trewey was the self-proclaimed “master” of hand shadows, chapeaugraphy, juggling and balancing feats, mimicry, and magic tricks – he was also an early exhibitor of motion pictures under the auspices of his friend Louis Lumière.
