Virgil Harris Mulkey was an American magician who was born in 1900 and began his career in the 1920s. In 1930, Virgil accidentally injured a young woman named Julie Capriotti who came up to help him on stage. Through this incident they fell in love and married in 1931, and Julie became part of the show. In 1952, Virgil started a world tour (with 33 tons of equipment) which lasted five years. Returning to America, Virgil and Julie continued touring the U.S. and Canada annually through 1978. The couple retired to the home they had built in 1965 overlooking Boston Harbor in Olympia, Washington If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have only auctioned one in all our years of auctioning and that was in 2012 (and it sold for $310)! Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has some discoloration around the edges but fortunately it mainly affects only blank paper (a small amount is visible in Virgil's white shirt at top). It has a few light scuffs but otherwise it is in pretty nice condition, and after a simple linenbacking which would likely remove most if not all of the discoloration chemically, it would look great!
