Alexander Herrmann was an American magician, born in France in 1844. Known for his mesmerizing performances, he captivated audiences with his incredible illusions and tricks. In a poster from around 1880, Alexander is featured alongside his wife and assistant Adelaide, also known as Mlle Addie. Eva Herrmann, a talented artist, created a caricature of Edwin Arlington Robinson in 1929. This American poet must have been honored to be immortalized by such a skilled hand. Eva's artistic talents were not limited to poets; she also designed posters for Mercedes-Benz. One such poster showcases the triumphs of Mercedes-Benz with the caption "Mercedes-Benz Triple Victory. " Another artwork takes us back to 1905 when Herrmann enjoyed the serene beauty of Pretzfeld Castle's garden. It must have been an enchanting sight that inspired him. Herrmann had a taste for adventure too. A photograph captures him driving through Pedralbes, Spain in his trusty Mercedes car. The wind blowing through his hair as he explored new horizons - truly living life on the edge. Leon Herrmann (also known as Herrmann the Great) followed in Alexander's footsteps and became another renowned magician. An American poster from around 1900 showcases Leon performing one of his mind-boggling card tricks – leaving spectators astounded and eager for more. Eva Herrmann continued her artistic journey by creating caricatures of prominent figures like Countee Cullen and Conrad Potter Aiken – both influential American writers who left their mark on literature during the early twentieth century. Theodore Dreiser was another notable figure captured by Eva's talent; this American editor and writer surely appreciated being depicted so skillfully. Lastly, William Carlos Williams, an esteemed poet himself, had the honor of having Eva create a caricature capturing his essence perfectly.
