1926 Large photograph of magician Harry Houdini as he was being checked over by a doctor before being sealed into an airtight coffin for his latest escape trick. An incredible rarity that we have never seen before, this captures Houdini up close and shirtless, ready to risk his life for the crowd. Issued by Underwood and Underwood and stamped on the back with a paper caption as well, this is arguably the finest image of Houdini that we have ever offered. The photo has as couple light creases and some extra paper at the bottom (which could be removed) but otherwise it presents beautifully. An incredible image from on the greatest performers of all time.
