Nicola, Will (William Mozard Nicol). Nicola the Man Who Knows! [Australia?], circa 1920. Quarter-sheet poster shows Nicola’s turban-clad head with rays radiating from his eyes at a crystal ball held in a skeletal hand. 20 x 15". Borders recreated; B. Though small in size, this poster is an exact – if less artful – copy of a billboard used successfully by Claude Alexander Conlin, who performed as a mind reader and popularized the tag line, “The Man Who Knows.”
