    Original The Great McLains Window Card
    This is an original window card used to promote The Great McLains shows. Not sure who they are but what is interesting is that this could be one of the first female escape artists and straight jacket performers.
    It states: Coming To Your School Auditorium / The Great McLains / Former World’s Champion Trick and Fancy Ropers - In Person / Magic – Illusion – Trick and Fancy Rope Spinning / Watch The Little Lady As She Fights Her Way Free From A Prison Straight Jacket! Feature Acts From Screen And TV / Now See Them In Person!
    A “window card” is a poster that is used to promote a show or an event. It is made of stiff cardboard and is often placed at retail store windows. It is also used at theaters and at events in glass cases outside of the venue.
    This original 14 x 22 inch, window card was purchased at auction from the David Price Egyptian Hall Museum (EHM 3685). It is not dated, although magic historians would be able to figure out rough dates, probably. Pre-owned but in good condition for its age.
