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. Important Added Info: Note that the poster has been folded for many years (into roughly 11" x 14" size), and will be sent folded, in one of our extra heavy duty boxes. Condition: good. The poster has 1" of vertical separation at the top and bottom crossfolds, with virtually no paper loss. There is 2" of separation at the top of the vertical foldline and there are two small vertical tears in the left of the middle foldline. The poster was once taped to someone's wall, and there is tape residue on the back of the corners, with small paper loss in the bottom corners from when the tape was roughly removed. But overall, the poster is in pretty nice condition, especially considering its age, and it would display great just as it is, or after a simple linenbacking, it would look really fantastic!
