[ACROBATS] Exercises Par La Troupe Des Kabiles. French, ca. 1860 [?]. Handsome half-sheet monochrome lithograph pictures a host of vignettes in which the Asian troupe of acrobats are captured in all manner of impossible poses. In the uppermost rendering, four tumblers jump off of a platform made of solid stone over other members of the troupe who stand in a group with sabers uplifted; one acrobat fires a rifle as he executes a somersault. Trimmed to approximately 24 × 18¼", with dampstains and foxing, old central fold with short tears at center.
