[Advertisement for Conjurers' Monthly Magazine].

Teale, Oscar S. (Oscar Schutte), 1848-1927, former owner., McManus-Young Collection (Library of Congress) · 1906 · New York, N.Y. : Conjurers' Magazine Publishing Co., [1906?] · 1 picture

This is an advertisement leaflet for Conjurers' Monthly Magazine, published in New York around 1906 by the Conjurers' Magazine Publishing Co. and aimed at magicians and stage conjurers, with a former owner Oscar S. Teale in its provenance. The single picture is a bold line drawing of a man bent forward with his wrists and ankles bound in shackles and rope, in the manner of an escape stunt. A designer could take its high-contrast engraved line work, dramatic silhouette and tight restraint imagery as a model for bold, graphic showmanship.
