Details of the Poster
Performers: The poster features Yu Li San, a female Spanish magician and mentalist who specialized in a spiritism act, as an assistant to "Profesor Alba". There were two "Profesor Albas"; the first was Manolo Alba (1894-1950), a Spanish magician from the 1930s. The second was his son, who took over the show after his father's death and toured with Yu Li San in the 1950s.
Art Style: The poster is noted for its dramatic Art Deco style, featuring vibrant blue, green, and red tones with a starry background. The artwork is attributed to the artist "Ramon" and was printed by Graficas Valencia in Valencia, Spain. |
