Roland (Eduard Krause). Roland?s Original Novelty / The Bachelor?s Dream. Leeds: John Waddington, ca. 1908. Imposing and handsome stone lithograph poster shows three scenes from Roland?s illusion in which the bachelor - presumably Roland himself - produces a comely woman inside a curtained cabinet standing on short legs. But, as quickly as the lady appears, so does she disappear, as if a figment of his imagination. 90 x 39?. Scattered restoration throughout image, especially at extremities. Linen backed. B/B-. Uncommon.
