Mounted to an overall size of 16 x 13 ”. In a large wooden frame (16 ¼ x 19”) with scrimmed mat concealing two holes in the frame. Not examined out of frame. This photograph hung in the theater of the Salon de Magie and it was through the camouflaged holes in the border of the frame that a number of impossibilities were performed; an offstage assistant, peering through a hole in the wall at the side of the stage, and through the hidden holes in the frame, could aid with feats of mind reading and other conjuring feats unbeknownst to the spectators in the audience.
