Profile portrait of Raymond, cigar in hand, signed and dated in the lower right. Standard cabinet card mount, image size 7 ? x 5?. Scuffing and soiling. Images from this portrait session were the inspiration for one of poster designer Robert Kemp?s lithographs of Raymond, ?Le Roi de Mysterie,? in which the end of Raymond?s cigar lights the tail of an imp on fire (Rauscher, The Great Raymond, Lithographs, ex. 4).
