Date Sold 6/17/2010Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Folded Indian Magic Show Poster (measures 14 1/4" x 41 1/4" [36 x 105 cm]) (Learn More) Alexander Crystal-Seer (born as Claude Alexander Conlin), the circa 1915 Indian magic show poster ("World's Greatest Master of Mental Mystics") used to advertise Alexander the magician. The poster features a really cool artwork image of a skeleton hand holding a crystal ball in front of Alexander's face. Alexander is wearing a turban, and behind him are six skulls floating in the background! Alexander was a famous magician of the 1910s and 1920s, and he had a fascinating, if seedy, private life, having married 11 times, and being a professional con man as a sideline to his magic business! Note that this poster is undated, but it is absolutely an original vintage poster. The only small writing at the bottom of the poster says "AV YAGA BOMBAY" and a copyright credit that reads "C. ALEXANDER", indicating it was printed for Alexander's tour of India, which apparently occurred around 1915. Note that this image has been sold as a reproduction countless times in countless sizes, but this is absolutely one of the original posters from which the reproductions were taken! If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: fair to good. The poster has become brittle with age and there is much tattering and separation along the foldlines and edges with some areas of paper loss (some repaired with clear tape from the back). Fortunately, most of the paper loss is in black background areas! Learn More about condition grades
