WORTHINGTON, Thomas C. (1879 - 1953). Thos. C. Worthington 3rd. Baltimore's Leading Magician. Baltimore, ca. 1920 [?]. Oil on board depicts the magician, salesman, and magic collector seated in a chair made of bones reading from a book with Satan looking over his shoulder. Framed to 12 1/2 x 15 1/2". Apparently painted by Worthington himself, and bearing his initials in the lower right. A date in the lower left appears to read "1920-1" but is chipped on its surface and is somewhat illegible.
