EDITORS COMMENTS
Extraordinary and Expensive Engagement of Hardeen, the King of Handcuff Kings and Jail Breakers (1906) This poster announces the engagement of Harry Houdini's esteemed rival, Hardeen, the self-proclaimed 'King of Handcuff Kings and Jail Breakers.' The image showcases Hardeen confidently seated on a grand throne, adorned with regal attire and a crown, surrounded by an array of handcuffs and keys. The backdrop of a jail cell and broken chains symbolizes his renowned expertise in escaping from confinement. Hardeen's engagement was an 'extraordinary and expensive' affair, as indicated by the poster's title. The event likely attracted a large crowd due to the magnetic allure of Hardeen's daring feats and the intrigue surrounding his personal life. The poster's bold typography and vibrant colors effectively capture the excitement and anticipation leading up to the engagement. Hardeen's career as a magician and escape artist began in the late 1800s, and he quickly gained recognition for his ability to escape from seemingly impossible situations. His acts often involved escaping from handcuffs, straitjackets, and other confining devices, as well as being suspended upside down in a sealed glass case filled with water. This poster is a testament to the enduring popularity of Hardeen and the magic and illusion industry during the early 1900s. It serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of magic and the captivating figures that made it their life's work.
