FABULOUS OLD LITHOGRAPH DIORAMA AND AUTOMATON OF ANIMATED BLACK BARN DANCE. This fabulous late 19th early 20th Century diorama, was distributed by the Parisian Importing Co. Features lithographed animated black figures doing a barn dance. Women and men dance in the doorway, musicians on either side play their instruments, a mammy in the foreground with a child sings and a horse in the stables moves with the music. Titled within the lithography in the barn rafters “Great Racket”. There is some great old lithography here. SIZE: Approx. 32 1/2″ w x 24″ h incl. frame. CONDITION: Lithograph figures appear to be in generally good condition. The mammy with the baby has a crease which may have been a split at one time and there is a separation along the scene of the lithography in the barn.. The mechanism is enclosed with a backboard and was supposedly working but at this point in time is not. Otherwise it appears very good. 1-26833 (9,000-11,000)
