HELLER, GEORGE WALDO. HELLERS WONDER COTERIE. ROARS OF LAUGHTER. Hamburg: Adolph Friedl?nder, 1907. Striking stone lithograph bearing a central montage of the trappings of the magician?s trade, including a winged demon head, skeletons, snakes and a Ben-Ali Bey-type black art performance of the decapitation illusion. A medallion bust portrait of Heller flanks the text in the upper banner. Framed to 35 x 28?. Old visible folds at center, linen backed. B. Heller found his greatest success in tours of New Zealand and Australia. The central image used in this poster was later adapted by Friedlander into a popular stock poster of lesser quality and detail used by a wide number of magicians.
