Philadelphia: A.T. Zeising & Co., Printers, [circa 1880].
Price: $4,500.00
Unbound. Poster. Approximately 11" x 14" on card stock. Stains along the margins, but attractive and very good (with a neat ink drawing of a house on the verso). Features a central color-printed woodcut illustration by engraver Edward Rogers of a well-dressed African-American man, apparently adept at "coloring" walls, with a bucket of Maxwell's Prepared Gypsum paint and a long-handled brush. [With]: Small handbill for Maxwell's Prepared Gypsum. Measuring 4½" x 8". Not illustrated. Some foxing and a small ink correction, near fine. [With]: Small trade card. Measuring 3" x 4¼". Illustrated in color. Fine. Repeats the central image that appears on the poster. A splendid image, we've never seen another copy of the poster.
