Thurston, Howard. Portrait of Thurston, Inscribed to Thomas Worthington. Columbus: Baker Art Gallery, ca. 1906. Handsome matte-finish sepia tone bust portrait of a youthful Thurston in coat and tie, on photographer?s mount, printed with his name below the image. 13 x 10?. The reverse stamped with the mark of the Museum of the American Circus of Sarasota. Inscribed by Thurston, ?This picture was taken at Melbourne Australia 1905 ? Best wishes to my friend Tomas [sic] Worthington 3rd Dec. 6 / 1925. Worthington was perhaps Thurston?s biggest fan, writing a monograph about him, and promoting dinners and testimonials to the magician each year Thurston visited Baltimore.
