Kellar, Harry (Heinrich Keller). Kellar. Levitation. Cincinnati & New York: The Strobridge Litho. Co., 1904. Striking stone lithograph depicts Kellar in a Moorish setting with an assistant floating in midair above him, his hands outstretched underneath her and a supplicant bowing down before him. Gilt frame, 33 x 23 ??. Central fold visible; not examined out of frame. Scarce. While Kellar presented many different versions of the levitation feat over the course of his career, the version of which was most proud, and that which carries his name today, is the incarnation depicted (with much artistic license) in this scarce Strobridge poster.
