Buffalo Bill's Wild West. Percy Verto. Proprietor and Premier Cineograph Manipulator. N.p., ca. 1900s. Illustrations from the show surround the central portrait of Buffalo Bill within the midsection of a buffalo; at top, a portrait of the Australian conjurer, escape artist, and early motion picture exhibitor Percy Verto appears. Perhaps a program centerfold. Scarce. Linen-backed. 25 x 20". "According to the Australian Papers, Percy Verto, described as the Handcuff King, is exciting on that side of the earth as much interest as did Houdini at the Alhambra last January" (Stanyon's Magic, Sept. 1901, [102]).
