Description:
“The Pupil In Magic” 1800s Theatrical Poster – Goethe
"The Pupil in Magic" (German story, by philosopher Goethe, 1749-1832) - When a young magician's apprentice uses magic to help with his chores, his inexperience results in creating more trouble than help from his efforts. When held accountable for his actions, he at first denies responsibility. Only when the apprentice owns up to his actions does the magician come to his rescue.
This story was the basis for “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.”
This poster advertises “The Pupil In Magic” “Der Zauberlehrling” (which is German for “The Magicians Apprentice”). It is marked in the lower left “Registered E 850” (the “E” looks like a backwards 3) and the lower right corner “Alex Hoenig” “Lithographer” “B.S. 14.”
Full Color Image of two youngsters in a snowy outdoor scene is 36” wide X 78” tall. The overall height of the poster, including the top and bottom plain white borders, is 90.” Picture does not show the borders. There is a wooden rod at the top attached to the canvas. Small pictures display bottom left and right corners, the damage and the information printed on them.
Slight flaking of lithograph from canvas backing in a few places, folds and creases throughout, along with some slight tears in color image at bottom and on bottom border. For more details feel free to email.
