(Magician and Boys)
c. 1906–1914

A black and white illustration depicting a man with a mustache, wearing a suit, bow tie, and a hat, standing and gesturing with his right hand toward a group of four children. The children appear to be listening intently to the man. The boy on the far right is whispering into another boy's ear. The setting is nondescript, with a plain background and a simple horizontal line indicating the ground.
