Leon and Adelaide Herrmann Photographic Print. Mid-20th Century or Later.
Photographic print depicting Leon and Adelaide Herrmann in elaborate theatrical costume, posed on an ornate staircase with Japanese-inspired parasol and decorative backdrop. Reproduced from an earlier image of the celebrated performers, whose careers helped shape the public image of stage magic at the turn of the twentieth century.
Leon Herrmann carried forward the famed Herrmann name following the era of Alexander “Herrmann the Great,” while Adelaide Herrmann became one of the most prominent magicians of her generation, continuing to perform and tour internationally after her husband’s death.
Glossy black-and-white photographic print measuring 8 × 10”. Evidence of prior mounting on the reverse, with remnants of adhesive and paper loss. Light wear consistent with age and handling. Good to very good condition overall.
