Title: The ChapBook poster - "The Juggler Sun" - designed by Claude Fayette Bragdon Author: Bragdon, Claude Place: Chicago Publisher: Stone & Kimball Date: c.1896 Description: Color lithograph poster, linen backed. 53.7x34.5 cm (21x13½"). The allegory of the Juggler with the sun is purely stylized, and with the signs of the Zodiac and the planets in almost atom-like orbits around the central figure, the image belongs to the symbolism and Art Deco visual lexicon that can be seen in Lee Lawrie's monumental statues in Rockefeller Center. A rare turning-point piece with a dynamic layout. The Chap-Book was a magazine published in Chicago, 1894-1898, dedicated to "all that is most modern and aggressive in the Young Man's literature." Within the next few years they had introduced to U.S. readers such little known writers as W.B. Yeats, Ibsen, Maeterlinck, Anatole France, H.G. Wells, Max Beerbohm Symbolist Poets Verlaine, Mallarme, Rimbaud, as well as the poetry of Stephen Crane, and the fiction of Henry James Lot Amendments Condition: Slight browning to edges; else fine. Condition B+. Item number: 248509
