Frederick Bancroft was a mustachioed dentist and insurance agent who eventually became friends with the semi-famous magician, Alexander Herrmann. Attracted by the lure of showmanship and the prospect of fame (he already had plenty of money), Bancroft purchased and leaned some magic tricks. He then created a lavish stage production to surround and disguise his relatively basic illusions. This poster, from 1895, is advertising Bancroft's opening show - and it gives us a preview of his over-the-top and expensive theatrical decorations! Like this poster and want to make a set?
