Jansen, Harry. The Great Jansen. America’s Greatest Transformist. Milwaukee: American Show Print, ca. 1912. Horizontal poster depicts vignettes from Jansen’s illusion show in various soap bubbles blown by the magician, including the Asrah levitation, Modern Cabinet, Crystal Casket, and more. 42 x 28 1/4". Borders recreated, old folds and chips expertly restored. Uncommon. After Jansen left the stage to work for Thurston, the design of this poster was re-used (with artwork of a lesser quality) as a stock image by at least one other printing company. Most of the illusions depicted in this poster were built by Jansen himself.
