Grigg, JohannesEtched portrait. Np: [nd, but early 18th century] Letterpress broadside (310 x 190 mm). Large etched illustration, featuring two portraits of Grigg in one image, of Grigg at foot; a little foxing, short tear to right margin, rebacked at head and foot. The broadside features the interesting pictorial choice to portray Grigg twice, seemingly in the same room—at once seated on the floor, and yet also behind him, down an ornate hallway, he is seated at a table performing with his cups and balls. Johannes Grigg was a one-armed, legless performer originally from Papa, Hungary. He performed with cups and balls in Stockholm in 1734, and was a contemporary of Buchinger.Condition reportCondition as described in catalogue entry.
