Okito (Tobias Bamberg). Okito. Hamburg: Adolph Friedlander, 1907. Striking lithographed half-length profile portrait of Okito dressed in one of his elaborate Chinese robes, his name framed by a bamboo border underneath the image. 27 ¾ x 37 ¾". Minor chips; A. This poster was also issued with a different name underneath the portrait, possibly after Okito stopped performing in 1909. At that time he resolved to quit his life as a professional magician and settled in New York where he opened a magic shop. The enterprise lasted for only a short time, after which Okito returned to the stage with great success. Here, his name appears to be a separate section added to the poster after the portrait was printed.
