Description

Kellar, Harry (Heinrich Keller)

Kellar. Cleveland: W. J. Morgan & Co., [1886]


Color lithograph poster (28 1/4 x 21 in.; 717 x 534 mm). Light fold creases, a few short closed tears, a very little, scattered spotting. Laid down on linen.


This handsome poster, with its Egyptian motifs evoking the illusions of Pharaoh's magicians, was used to promote Kellar's highly successful engagement at Philadelphia's Arch Street Opera House in the spring of 1886. Very rare.
