'HERE'S TO RELLOS.' Circa 1910.
88½x39¾ inches, 224¾x101 cm. Moody Bros, Birmingham, England. Condition B: repaired tears, replaced losses, creases, abrasions, and water staining in margins and image; creases, abrasions and overpainting along vertical and horizontal folds; paper text insert in lower right corner and left image. Four-sheets.
Moody Bros. originally printed this poster to advertise another magician - Maurice Raymond. To reuse the design for a similarly-named magician, they cleverly printed a new top text sheet, with part of the 'R' of Raymond, to advertise Rellos, then printed text inserts for the champagne label and lower right text to promote this new performer. The Raymond version also has small bats flying through the title. Little information is available about Rellos, but another poster features his act with Zeenah the Invisible Woman.
