Description from the seller

Vaudeville / Circusposter (Giclee-print) dating to around 1980 for an original from the early part of the last century. F. Roca was probably one of the Spanish Roca brothers who performed together as ventriloquists and vaudeville actors in various circuses during the period 1900–1910. F. Roca boasted solo about the blood-chilling guillotine-truck, but apparently competed with the great Houdini and many other escape feats... Condition A: intact, in mint condition, with fresh colors. Shipping: rolled in a sturdy tube with track & trace.

A tri-lingual magic poster in English, Spanish, and French showing many of the tricks to be performed by F. Roca during his magic shows between 1900-1910. F. Roca may have been one of the Roca Brothers, famous ventriloquists and circusartists . His main attraction was avoiding his decapitation by guillotine. This a licensed Giclee-reproduction that was printed on Premium Heavy Stock Paper which captures all of the vivid colors and details of the original.
