1926 Carter the Great, Magician, Original Lithographed Poster Salesman Samples
Carter the Great (1874 -1936) was Charles Joseph Carter. Practicing stage magician during magic's golden age (1920's). This is an original four page color lithographed booklet printed in 1926 on heavy paper stock (not as thick as card stock). As I was told it was given to theater managers prior to Carter's appearance to provide them with poster advertising options. Sort of an illustrated sales sheet for choosing a specific poster. It was included when I purchased an original Carter one sheet. It was part of a huge hoard of Carter's magic material discovered in the 1960's behind a false wall in an old, imported automobile warehouse. The colors are somewhat deeper and more vivid than the scanner was able to capture. It includes the following poster samples. Size: 10" x 7¼". Sold: May 2006
