Taken from a battered and unsalvageable 1907 story book, this delightful, hand-colored lithograph presumed to be drawn by L. Hobbins is entitled, "It Won’t Hurt Much". The litho features a very frightened and pain-ridden little black girl, Abiathar, whose aching jaw is tied up in a sling. Her Mammy and Pappy are attempting to convince her to allow the dentist, who looks on with menacing pliers in hand, to pull her infected tooth! Measuring 9 by 11 inches framed, this gorgeous litho is not signed but other lithos from the same book and executed in the same style are indeed signed L. Hobbins. A delightful piece of Black Memorabilia that features the accompanying text on the reverse side. The frame is a temporary and inexpensive one to allow the potential buyer to view the story on the backside, but the piece should be properly framed to enable its continued conservation once purchased. Please ignore any white streaks seen in photos; these are the result of light reflection off of the glass. Small piece of glass missing (see photos). |
