Description

Seven-part jumping jack. Stencil-coloured lithograph. 674 x 580 mm. A large, typical Wei enburg jumping jack, the threatening caricature of an oriental character. Western audiences delighted in subjecting enemy warriors to ridicule by pulling the string and making the figure "jump" (cf. "Bilderbogen aus Wei enburg" catalogue, p. 134: a contemporary Turkish soldier by the same publisher). - Some edge and corner flaws. Includes additional illustrated broadsheets with oriental motifs. All of these prints are very rare; a different print commanded 21,250 at Sotheby's in 2012.
