RAYMOND (Raymond Morris Saunders, 1877 - 1948). The Mysterious Hand of Raymond. [London]: David Allen and Sons, 1910s. Half-sheet color lithograph bearing a silhouetted bust portrait of the American magician with a ghostly hand superimposed over the top of the likeness. Gilt wooden frame, 31 ½ x 21 ¾”. Linen backed, but not examined out of frame. This poster was likely produced to advertise Raymond’s performance of the Rapping Hand. The apparatus he used for the trick was constructed for him by Okito (Theo Bamberg) and was a realistic imitation – much more so than other commercially available models – modeled on Okito’s own hand.
