What it is
A Strobridge & Co. colour lithograph of 1897, 'Kellar in his latest mystery'; 74 by 49 cm.
Why it matters
Kellar presented large stage shows through the 1890s and 1900s, and a new illusion needed a new poster.
What to notice
'Latest' is the selling word: a magician always had to have a new one.
The new trick, promised on paper.
