[Curiosity] Pair of Skull Optical Illusion Cabinet Cards. Circa 1880s. Two albumen prints on original studio mounts featuring an illusion; up close, two young girls and their dog are playing with their toys; far away, the image appears to be that of a human skull. One advertises for the William Deering Company?s (Chicago) harvesting machinery, titled ?The Beginning and the End of Life?. 6 ? x 4 ??. Mild browning at margins; very good.
