Charles Godfrey Leland (August 15, 1824 – March 20, 1903) was an American humorist and folklorist, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was educated at Princeton University and in Europe. Leland worked in journalism, travelled extensively, and became interested in folklore and folk linguistics. He published books and articles on American and European languages and folk traditions. He worked in a wide variety of trades, achieved recognition as the author of the comic Hans Breitmann’s Ballads,[1] and fought in two conflicts. He wrote Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches, which became a primary source text for Neopaganism half a century later. Size:12 by 9 1/2 inches actual picture without writing 3 by 3 inches smaller Condition: Pretty good condition , small fold at top left corner but wont see under mat but look at Photos. Would look fantastic in an acid free mat and black frame. If you google this engraving you will see many collections have this engraving. The library of Congress sells photos of this engraving. Made for Electic Magazine. Great piece of history. We got these while we were living in Philadelphia. Bought at an antique store and always thought we would open a store to sell prints but now retired so just selling. Have over 200 engravings. Have sat in a box for over 30 years. Lots of copies of this engraving but this is an original. Note the size of this engraving compared to others. This is much bigger.
