Vintage Poster Alexander, The Man Who Knows
Lot Details & Additional Photographs
Sheet size 42 1/4 x 28 in.
Alexander, “The Man Who Knows,” was one of the highest-paid mystics and magicians of the Golden Age of Magic. Born in South Dakota in 1880, he rose to fame during the Vaudeville era, becoming best known for his psychic performances involving fortune telling and mind reading, rather than traditional magic. Often dressed in Eastern-inspired attire, including a turban, Alexander was also credited with introducing electrical elements into magic acts. His life was surrounded by myth and intrigue, and he reinvested much of his wealth into striking posters such as this one for promotion.
Condition B+: Beautiful bright impression with light even toning to the sheet, a few minor margin tears, rolled with associated horizontal creases.
