An Original Vintage Linenbacked Magic Show Poster (measures 26 1/2" x 40 1/4" [67 x 102 cm]) (Learn More)

George The Supreme Master of Magic, the 1920s stage spectacular live magic show ("Triumphant American Tour"; "18 People"; "Car Load of Scenic Effects"). Grover George was an American magician who was born in 1887 and put himself through college by performing magic. He performed in the U.S. in the early 1920s, and bought the rights to another magician's act called "The Hong Kong Mysteries", and he toured America, but ran into difficulties when rival magician Howard Thurston told theaters that booked Thurston would never see him again if they also booked George! This torpedoed George's career in the U.S., and in 1924, he went to South America, where he had great success. In 1929, he returned to the U.S., but again did not have much success, and he returned to South America, eventually retiring in Brazil. During one of his American tours in the 1920s, he anticipated a "triumphant American tour", and like most magicians of the day, he printed a large number of full-color stone litho posters (ranging from one-sheets to billboard posters), which he intended to use wherever he was performing. But when his tour folded, he was left with unused posters of all sizes, and we have auctioned several of those posters in different sizes, all with wonderful full-color stone litho images!

Important Added Info:

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good to fine. The poster was never folded and was in quite nice condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed. At some point after it was backed, it became very slightly rippled in the lower left, but this would barely show if the poster is framed.
