An Unfolded S2 Re-Creation Three-Sheet Magic Show Poster (3sh; measures 38 1/2" x 87 1/4" [98 x 222 cm]) (Learn More) Harry Houdini (born Erik Weisz) was the most famous and best magician and escape artist from the 1890s to 1926. He took his stage name from French magician Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin, and first attracted notice in vaudeville in the U.S., and then as "Harry Handcuff Houdini" on a tour of Europe. Soon he extended his repertoire to include chains, ropes slung from skyscrapers, straitjackets under water, and having to escape from and hold his breath inside a sealed milk can with water in it. He only appeared in five movies, beginning with "The Grim Game", and also the serial, "The Master Mystery", plus Terror Island, The Man from Beyond, and Haldane of the Secret Service. He passed away in 1926 at the age of 52, and there are several stories about exactly how he died. In 1953, there was a fictionalized biography of him starring Tony Curtis, called "Houdini". Important Added Info: This poster is one of the only multi-piece posters from the "S2 Art Group", printed in 2 sections, because of its very large size. This company bought 100-year-old lithograph presses, completely refurbished them, and created stone slabs that allowed them to make nearly perfect replicas of classic movie posters (and in some cases making a stone litho version of a poster that was not originally a stone litho!). They were printed in exactly the same way the posters were originally printed (re-creating them down to the finest detail within the art, and even including the tiny writing from the bottom of the poster). These posters were printed between 1997 and 2003, and were NOT printed when the movies were originally released. It is super high quality and measures 38 1/2" x 87 1/4" [98 x 222 cm] (Learn More). Finally, note that this S2 re-creation comes with a "certificate of authenticity" from "The RE Society Ltd.", stating when the poster was produced, and detailing the methods used. Condition: fine. The two pieces of the poster are in excellent condition (see above)! Learn More about condition grades
