Catalog Description:

C.1860, German Automaton "Man Playing Fiddle", a good early shadow box, the lithographed scene hand colored (versus chrome-litho.), in very good original condition Depicted is a rather agitated yet elegantly dressed dandy bowing the fiddle, while standing in front of an ornate gilt music stand while a cat looks on from a betassled curule based ottoman. There is not a lot of animation, just the man's head, his arm, and his tapping foot. The frame is covered in textured paper (with losses). The movement is a primitive tin plate 3-wheel unit with the plates riveted together. Condition is nice and colors are quite bright for their age. 10 1/2" x 8"
