George (Grover George)Triumphant American Tour. George the Supreme Master of Magic. 18 People, Car load of Scenic Effects. Cleveland: The Otis Lithograph Co., ca. 1924 (no. 41639) Color lithograph poster (27 3/4 x 40 3/4 in.; 678 x 1035 mm). Laid down on linen. By the second decade of the twentieth century, "[t]he most famous illusionists no longer had to describe their tricks in their posters, but could attract spectators simply by having their faces plastered all over town. … [This] poster created for George … foreshadows the visual language of horror films" (Illusions, p. 173). A brilliant, fresh and bright impression. George's American tour was not so triumphant: it was overshadowed and perhaps sabotaged by Thurston, and George spent most of his career touring Latin America.
