Entitled: "Herrmann the Great Co" lithograph poster created by Miner Lithographing Company, 1898. Leon Herrmann (March 13, 1867 - May 16, 1909) was a French magician and part of the Herrmann family name which has been called "first family of magic". As a boy he traveled with his uncle Compars Herrmann who left medical school at an early age to pursue a career as a magician. Leon moved to the United States to continue his Uncle Alexander Herrmann's show after his death with his Aunt Adelaide Herrmann, billing himself as Herrmann III. The Herrmann name still drew crowds, but because of clashes of temperament, Leon and Adelaide parted company after three seasons. His wife Marie Herrmann was known as the "Queen of Illusions" for her numerous illusions that she performed in connection with her husband. He died unexpectedly in 1909 at the age of 42.
