Houdini @ the Contemporary Jewish Museum, SF



Checked out this exhibit yesterday. It was really cool. I bought the catalog. There is some really interesting information on the Jewish Museum (NY) website. http://www.thejewishmuseum.org/exhibitions/houdini

One of the only images that is not in the catalog is of Bess Houdini (Harry's wife) amongst piles of the Houdini's book collection. Supposedly it is from the library of congress but I could not find any info on the web :( I really want to recreate that image. There was also some strange paint on the image. Sort of blocking out parts of the print but in really small areas?
