HERRMANN, Alexander (1844 ? 1896). Autograph and Portrait of Herrmann the Magician. [Ca. 1882]. Handsome three-quarter length rotogravure-type portrait of Herrmann striking a Napoleonic pose, with one hand in his jacket and a spotted tie around his neck, printed on thick stock; sold together with a fine autograph of the great magician on a stiff card, stating, ?Your truly, A Herrmann.? The larger 6 ? x 4 ??. Both with mounting remnants to versos, but very good condition overall. Scarce. A penciled caption below the portrait identifies Herrmann as appearing at the Boston Horticultural Hall during the last weeks of December 1882.
