One-sheet portrait of Kellar, the model for the wizard in Baum's famous Wizard of Oz stories, with imps perched on his shoulders, one whispering secrets into his ear. 39 ? x 30". Linen backed. Faded, with abrasions to surface and borders over-colored. This is the first poster to use the now-classic ?imps" motif so common with magicians.
