CARTER THE GREAT

Eight Sheet (80" x 104")
Very Fine on Linen
Otis Litho, c. 1927

This fabulous eight sheet is one of three featured in this auction. In each picture, Carter, the Great, works his magic as demons, skeletons, and witches look on.

This eight sheet has been lovingly restored. Several chips around the edges have been repaired along with several touch-ups to the fold lines and a small puncture in the man with his back turned to the right of the globe.

Carter the Great was born Charles Joseph Carter, an American stage magician. His first appearance as a magician occurred when he was just ten years old and dubbed "Master Charles Carter, the Original Boy Magician." He toured the world performing magic, and upon his passing at age 61, his son carried on "Carter the Great's" legacy.
