 AN OLD TIME CAKE WALK, 1897 LARGE CHROMOLITHOGRAPH BLACK MEMORABILIA PRINT, shows an old time barn dance with musicians playing a banjo, accordion and some kind of castanets; except for the face of the banjo player, the features of the faces of the people you can see look to be exaggerated; many of the faces are in darkness though because of the light coming through the window, this is a gorgeous print; it is printed on very thick paper, it has to be shipped flat because it will not roll, 20" x 13 1/2", excellent condition with some bumps along the edges and on the corners, a shallow crease on the bottom left corner, and a light scratch on head cloth of the woman behind the lifted hands of the dancers, the scratch goes into the barn area above her head too    #BA28830    $125.00
