Card to Baby. British, ca. 1910. The magician holds a large Ace of Hearts playing card, which instantly transforms into an even larger baby doll. Hand-painted jumbo card, doll with hand-painted papier-m?ch? face and white lace clothing, hinged sheet metal supports, and two hand-painted sheet metal arms on springs (likely a repurposed spring-production baby doll). From the collection of De Vega (Alexander Mackay Stewart). Full size approximately 25 x 16?. Expected soiling and wear from use.
