Description

"Stone walls do not a prison make nor iron bars a cell"

AQS on an off-white 5.75 x 4 album page, with Houdini writing a quote from the poem entitled 'To Althea, from Prison' by Richard Lovelace. In full: "'Stone walls do not a prison make nor iron bars a cell.' Harry Houdini, 2/15/13." In fine condition, with light show-through from an unrelated signature on the reverse. An especially appropriate quote from the master of escape. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA.
