BRUSH, Edwin (1873–1967). BRUSH. KING OF WIZARDS. Chicago: Goes Litho. Co., ca. 1920. Detailed color stone lithograph depicts Brush - with his ever-present upturned mustache - conjuring a witch from a cauldron supported by skulls, while a devil observes the proceedings. An Alligator sits in the foreground at the right, while a black cat, rabbit, and duck fill out the scene. 28 × 21". Small losses at old folds and in margins, other general wear and small stains, mounted to board. Eugene Laurant, Brush’s competitor in the Chautauqua and Lyceum fields, called this image “the best lithograph of a magician I ever saw.”
