Alexander (Claude Alexander Conlin). Alexander. The Man Who Knows. Circa 1915. Eight-sheet color lithograph poster with later hand-coloring altering the portrait area, bearing an imposing and vivid larger-than-life portrait of the mentalist-magician staring at the viewer. 110 x 80”. Linen backed. Repaired tears to bottom left margin; A-. Alexander's eight-sheet posters were originally printed with a grayscale portrait of Alexander. This copy, however, has been finely painted by a modern artist so that Alexander's face and turban art colored as on the three-sheet version (See Potter & Potter Auctions, "Sleight of Hand," Aug. 19, 2017, Lot 473). The lettering, also, is hand-painted in yellow.
