Carter, Charles. Carter the Great. The Lion’s Bride. Chicago: Illinois Litho, ca. 1918. Three-color window card advertising Carter’s most spectacular illusion, a transposition illusion presented as a magical play, involving Carter as the hero saving a damsel in distress from a ferocious lion. 14 x 22". A. Rare. While the posters produced for Carter by Otis Litho of Cleveland are relatively common, early posters like this one, printed by Illinois Litho are relatively scarce. This is the only known example of this window card.
