HOUDINI, Harry (Erik Weisz, 1874 ? 1926). Harry Houdini Handwritten Postcard. Postmarked Bradford, England, March 7, 1903, and addressed in Houdini?s own hand in ink to Detective Sergeant Rastruck, the color lithographed card depicts a scene from Cologne, Germany on the recto. In the margins, Houdini has written, quite humorously, ?The police carry a sword over here! To cut cheese? March 2/03. Notice the Kings [sic] Policeman looking for Houdini. Hope he does not jail him. How are the card trix??? Underneath the policeman at the center of the scene, Houdini has marked his position with a thick black ?X.? General wear from mailing and handling; still a rare and humorous postcard written during Houdini?s early years of success.
