Bancroft, Frederick. Bancroft the Magician. The Magical Palace. Cincinnati: The Enquirer Job Printing Co., ca. 1896. Magnificent color lithograph shows Bancroft descending a staircase in a royally appointed palace attended by servants and outfitted with elephant head tables and several props from his magic show. 41 ½ x 28 ¾". Restoration at old folds and at edges, borders recreated. B. Rare. Bancroft began his career as an entertainer after attaining no small amount of success with insurance and real estate businesses. His performing career, which never quite measured up to the standards he set for himself, or those set by the public, was cut short by typhoid fever, which took his life in 1897, when he was just 31 years old.
