EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Kellar," showcases the enigmatic and mesmerizing presence of Harry Houdini, the legendary magician and escape artist, around the turn of the 20th century. The image, estimated to date back to 1899, is a testament to the enduring allure of magic and illusion. In this poster-like print, Houdini is depicted in an elegant, theatrical setting, surrounded by ornate curtains and a grand piano. He is dressed in a tailored suit, exuding an air of sophistication and confidence. His piercing gaze and slightly raised eyebrow suggest a hint of mischief and mystery. The image captures Houdini in the midst of one of his famous escapes, with one hand bound and the other holding a length of rope. The intricate knots and the frayed ends of the rope add to the sense of tension and anticipation. The dramatic lighting and the use of shadows further enhance the sense of magic and illusion. Houdini's popularity during this period was due in large part to his daring escapes and his ability to captivate audiences with his performances. He was known for his ability to escape from seemingly impossible situations, such as being suspended upside down in a sealed glass tank or escaping from a straitjacket while suspended from a tall crane. This photograph is a stunning reminder of the power of magic and the enduring appeal of the mysterious and the unknown. It is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of Harry Houdini and the wonder and excitement of the magic shows of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
