Auction History Result 4s287 ASK ALEXANDER Indian magic show poster '15 wonderful stone litho art! Date Sold 9/8/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Folded Indian Magic Show Poster (measures 27 1/4" x 41") (Learn More) Ask Alexander, the circa 1915 Indian magic show poster used to advertise Alexander the Magician ("Ask Alexander"). Alexander (his birth name was Claude Alexander Conlin) 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", 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. Condition: good to very good. The poster has become somewhat brittle with age and there is some tattering and tearing around the edges. Other than the defects that are mostly around the edges, the poster is in pretty nice condition (especially considering its age) and after linenbacking it will surely display quite nicely with very little paint restoration needed!
