[Stock Poster] El Verdadero Diablo stock poster. Cincinnati and New York, Russell-Morgan Print Co., ca. 1907. One-sheet (27 ¾ x 41") color lithograph bearing a striking tableau of classic conjuring icons, among them a grinning devil, a white rabbit, a handsome magician in white tie and tails, flowers, playing cards, and more. One of the most impressive and visually arresting stock magic posters extant. Significant wear chipping and tears in margins, but image sound and attractive. Fair condition. Linen backed. This poster was most likely used to advertise the 1907 South American tour of American magician Will B. Wood.
