HOUDINI, HARRY (EHRICH WEISZ). PHOTOGRAPH OF HOUDINI AND TEDDY ROOSEVELT. Captioned June 23, 1914. Oversize example of the famous full-length image of Houdini and President Roosevelt taken aboard the Hamburg American Liner “Imperator.” Framed to 16 x 13 ¼”. Not examined out of frame. Close examination of the background of the image reveals that the other passengers who originally posed for the photograph have been skillfully painted out of the background by the photographer. This is the largest example of this famous picture we have encountered.
