IONIA (Clementine De Vere, 1883 - 1973). Ionia / L’Enchantresse. Birmingham: Moody Brothers, ca. 1910. Magnificent full-length portrait poster of this illusionist standing on a marble slab with a smoldering volcano in the background, her name set in a mosaic-style above her outstretched hand. 19 ¾ x 30”. Linen backed. Old central fold, one corner clipped; A-.Ionia was the daughter of Charles De Vere, the well-known English magician and magic trick manufacturer, who operated a shop and factory in Paris. Her mother, Julia Ferret De Vere, performed as Okita, a Chinese magicienne. Ionia’s stage career lasted just three years. Even so, she presented a spectacular routine of stage-filling illusions that was heavily advertised with what many collectors now consider some of the most artistic posters of magic’s “golden age.”
