[Houdini letterhead, with head-and-shoulders portrait of Houdini]
[graphic].
[1900 or 1901]
2 prints.
Letterhead printed in Frankfurt, Germany.
Who would remember a modest magician, or one who failed to advertise? Letterhead and business cards promote the persona and, at this point in his career, Houdini was never understated. In 1916, The King of Handcuffs annotated this stationary on the sample shown here. The paper was then carefully preserved by Oscar Teale who placed it in a scrapbook he maintained about Houdini.

1874-1926
