Sarrazin. ca. 1920.
This anonymous artist adapts C. Allan Gilbert’s 1892 optical illusion drawing, “All is Vanity.” Here, the skull transforms into the image of French magician Sarrazin gazing at himself in the mirror. Born Marcel Vassal, he performed mind-reading tricks and wrote two books on mentalism, though little other information exists on the performer.
