Eck, John (John Eckhardt). Four Photographs of Johnny Eck and Harry Blackstone. Baltimore, 1949. Including two 8 x 10? images: in the first, Blackstone, dressed in his stage tuxedo, holds Eck at shoulder height; in the other, Eck poses with the burro that traveled with the show; and two candid snapshots in which Blackstone pretends to produce Eck from a large shawl and supports a tray ? with help from another man ? that Eck sits on. The larger two with Eck?s stamp to their versos. Sold together with Eck?s copy of the program from the Blackstone show.
