Ideal vintage matte-finish 3.5 x 5.5 postcard photo of the manacled magician by J. Beagles and Co. of London, signed vertically in fountain pen, “Harry Handcuff Houdini, July 28—1909.” In fine condition, with slight silvering to darker areas of the image. The year of 1909 proved an especially hectic one for Houdini, who published his second book, Handcuff Secrets, debuted in his first feature film, Marvelous Exploits of the Famous Houdini in Paris, and took his passion for aviation to new heights, purchasing a French Voisin biplane and making his first successful flight in Hamburg in late November. An iconic image of history’s most famous magician. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
