What it is
A colour lithograph of 1910: 'Thurston, master magician, all out of a hat'; a wide sheet, 70 by 105 cm.
Why it matters
Thurston built his name on card magic and stage illusion; this bill sells the oldest trick in the act at full scale.
What to notice
The hat is the centre, and everything else spills out of it.
The oldest trick, made spectacular.
