The Great Nicola (William Mozart Nicol) | The Great Nicóla—now with an acute accent

The Great Nicola (William Mozart Nicol)

The Great Nicóla. Nicóla’s Great Jail Breaking Mystery. Introducing Nicóla’s Invisible Cloak, Such a Thing Has Never Heretofore Been Seen. Cleveland: The Otis Litho. Co., ca. 1925 (no. o-397)

Color lithograph poster (40 5/8 x 13 3/4 in.; 1035 x 349 mm). Some marginal chips and tears, a few just into printed area, tiny hole just catching red border at upper right. Laid down on linen.

This poster illustrates two illusions, each accomplished with Satanic assistance. Nicóla seems to have added an accent to his name late in his career.
