Carter, Charles Joseph

Carter the Great. Shooting a Marked Bullet! Cleveland: The Otis Litho. Co., ca. 1926 (no, 4622-M)

Color lithograph poster on 6 sheets joined as 2 (overall ca. 106 x 80 in.). A little edgewear, rebacked with linen.

Although the text of this monumental poster focuses on the marked bullet trick—"A marked bullet attached to a ribbon is apparently fired through a live woman's body and the ribbon played back and forth through her torso!"—it is chockablock with vignettes of Carter's other signature illusions, including levitation, sawing a woman in half, and the water bowl.
