Couper de tetes au British Circus Imperator. Paris: Louis Galice, 1915. Vintage magic poster depicts a grisly scene of decapitation from a macabre magic show. Satan himself holds the severed head of the victim. 15 _ x 23 _о. One small chip in border repaired; A. A feature of the Grand Guignol-type shows of the era, what spectators saw on stage when the decapitation trick was presented was far different _ and much tamer, in some ways _ than the scene depicted on this poster.
