This is an original stone lithograph of Newmann The Great from my private collection of Magic Posters dated 1920. It is a 1/2 sheet measuring approximately 20" x 28" in A+ condition and depicts a rich three-color portrait of Newmann with a devil perched on his shoulder whispering in his ear. St. Paul, Standard Litho.
Newmann was primarily a mentalist who specialized in unusual, high class mental presentations, although he also presented a few illusions such as the Levitation, The Spirit Paintings, and similar effects, in connection with his regular program.
