1922 Beautiful and incredibly rare photograph of magician Harry Houdini as he was being bound into a straight jacket in preparation for one of his most famous public escapes in history. He was about to be suspended 150 feet into the air and upside down, performing for free in front of a massive crowd in New York City, all to gain a $1000 bet and of course some free publicity! The image is taken from a high vantage point and looking directly down on Houdini as members of an insane asylum tie him up! One of Houdini's most incredible images we have ever handled, issued by Underwood and Underwood and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well.
