Heute Gastpiel Sylvester Schaffer jun. / Sohn des weltberuhmten Sylvester Schaffer. Berlin: Martin Bauchwitz, ca. 1920s. Lithograph poster. 27 ¾ x 18”. Older linen backing. Horizontal and vertical folds; creases and wrinkling in image; scattered minor paper losses at edges. B. An uncommon poster for Schaffer (1885 – 1949), a one-man variety performer whose act included magic, sharpshooting, lightning painting, music, trained animals, and juggling. Here, we are shown his finale, in which he would dress as Atlas and carry a globe upon his back. Then, five people, each representing the Earth’s continents, would emerge from the globe.
