Description

Remarkable portrait from the escape artist’s 1914 international tour

Exceptional 3.5 x 5.5 postcard photo of Houdini in a bust-length pose, signed in fountain pen, “Harry Houdini, March 3/1914. Kindest regards, Swansea, S Wales.” In fine condition, with mounting remnants to reverse. During this time, Houdini was engaged in a series of performances at the Empire Theatre in Swansea—a notice published in the Cambria Daily Leader on March 5 announced that Houdini had accepted a challenge to escape from a specially constructed traveling hamper. A superb image from the height of Houdini’s worldwide stardom. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
