Crafted from khaki canvas, leather, and metal rivets by Swanfeldt Tent & Awning Co. , this straitjacket is a testament to the artistry of its time. Harry Houdini, born Erik Weisz but known worldwide as the master illusionist, stunt performer, and escapologist extraordinaire, was renowned for his death-defying acts. This iconic straitjacket played an integral role in his daring performances that captivated audiences across America. The photograph offers a glimpse into the world of stagecraft and entertainment during Houdini's era.
