The 'Golden Era of Magic' (1890-1930) generated thousands of colorful posters of all sizes, advertising impossible feats of famous magicians like Kellar, Houdini, and Carter the Great. Generally produced through lithography printing (multiple sizes of the same image were made), these posters featured magicians performing a specific trick, along with their name and a short blurb about the show.
