Item Description
Beautiful color semi-jungle setting with palm trees and scene depicting a pair of huge outraged ostrich parents besetting a black man seated on the ground with three ostrich eggs between his legs. He uses a straw to drink the one he holds. Inscription around "You Are The Sucker We've Been Laying For/Why Don't You Get A Parsons Feeder." Slight age tone on the 1900-1912 W&H paper. Reverse has pair of tiny cello flakes not folded below the collet but they lay flat. On the front there is a deep scratch line running between the man's left hand down to the tip of his right foot. While this cut shows from most angles it is truly just a hairline and detracts very little from the otherwise NM appearance of the design. These are available only rarely with this being about our 6th in 5 decades. Auction sales have exceeded $700.00.
