Additional Details



Curious piece of Houdini ephemera. Sent to theatre owners before Houdini's arrival and consisting of 5 sections separated by perforations. This example lacks the greeting by Day's Agency, who represented Houdini for his British appearances. One section of the piece deals with the stage set-up, another is a property list, and the remaining deal with advertising.<
