Beschreibung

Two advertising placards, approximately 38 x 25.5cm. One noting that the illustration is derived: "From photo by Charles Russell Belfast", with what may be the original display string present. The lower left corner is torn, slightly affecting the border and a small portion of the illustrated area, and with some residual material from a gummed paper label. The other, advertising "the Sensational Illusion By Fire & Sword.", retains the gummed label noting that the performances are taking place at the Opera House, Dudley, it has tears to the top where the display string has worn through or been roughly removed. Both are slightly toned, grubby and marked. Quite a rare survival, two cards from the same period, both showing the illusionist and magician, famous for her rapid and elaborate costume changes, surrounded by demon imps expressing amazement and admiration at her performance. Including one of her most famous illusions, inverting the traditional gender roles, in which her male assistant is seemingly murdered and cremated on stage. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 6439
