Harry Houdini, born in 1874, became a legendary figure in magic and escapology, astounding audiences with his daring escapes from handcuffs, straitjackets, and locked boxes. His acts often drew massive crowds, especially during outdoor stunts where he escaped from bridges or submerged crates.

On Friday 20 February 1914 he performed at the Empire Theatre in Leeds in an 'All-Star Matinee.'

Originally printed in 1914 by John Waddington, Ltd., Printers and Lithographers in Leeds, this is a reproduction of the original poster.

Vintage Reproductions

In our Vintage Reproductions collection you’ll find beautiful prints based on originals in the public domain. We have taken high-quality scans or photographs of these and lovingly retouched them to restore some of the splendour of the originals. But we have purposefully left behind the signs of age such as yellowing and other faded colours, wonky lines, creases and fold marks, the worn-out type and even the occasional tear. Some details may not be quite as sharp as the originals, but all the charm is there. And these will look wonderful for years to come too, because they are printed using pigment inks on 100% cotton, acid-free, archival paper.
