Summary

Description

Poster of Howard Thurston, bearing the text "Thurston the Great Magician" and "The Wonder Show of the Universe". Shows him with little devils on his shoulder.

Note: Due to the original being covered in tape, a serial number, which the LoC says is "N.Y. no. 14232." was removed from outside the border, as not enough of it remained. This does not affect the appearance significantly, as they'd be almost entirely cropped out anyway at this crop.

Date

Description	British Image restorationist, composer, amateur photographer and artist, and Wikipedian As Adam lives in Britain, which makes it incredibly easy to acquire copyright in his works, he grants, if needed, an irrevokable license to use this work however you see fit. He requests attribution where possible, and realises that "where possible" means that that request is not legally enforcable. Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:44, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
