Hamburg: Adolph Friedländer, 1905. A woman in an elaborate black dress levitates above the gesturing magician and a flaming cauldron. The image represents what was perhaps LeRoy's greatest creation, the Asrah levitation. In performance, the woman, covered by a thin cloth, floated high above the head of the performer. At the conclusion of the feat, the levitating lady vanished from mid-air as the cloth was pulled away from her by LeRoy. 28 x 38". Uncommon in this size. Old folds, minor repairs and over painting in edges; A-.
