He returned to Nashville to practice commercial art, but by the mid-1950s had decided to pursue his own art career.

Wildner met with critical and commercial success after a 1962 exhibit of his art at the Nashville site now known as Cheekwood.

• MASKELYNE & COOKE. MASKELYNE & COOKE’S
  MASKELYNE & COOKE. MASKELYNE & COOKE’S MYSTERIES. THE G...Nottingham: Stafford & Co., ca. 1896. A swashbuckler, wizard, gnomes, ghosts, and demons fill the fantastical scene in this poster, based on the magical playlet written by Mel B. Spurr with illusions by J.N.

• CARTER, CHARLES. CARTER. THE MYSTERIES
  CARTER, CHARLES. CARTER. THE MYSTERIES OF THE YOGI’S.[Chicago: Goes Litho Co., ca. 1905]. A dozen gnomes in green pants and pointed red caps, some ringing bells, others with drums or horns, float above Carter and spirit away his suit coat, even though the magician is lashed to a chair. 20 ½ x 26 7/8". Numerous old folds and scuffs, borders over-colored; B. Rare. Carter posters printed by the Otis Lithograph Co. of Cleveland are relatively common, but also widely popular; one Otis poster produced for Carter was used as the basis for a best-selling novel. Several of the posters offered here, are, on the other hand, relatively scarce. Printed in Chicago by the Goes Lithograph Co., the images were produced early in Carter’s career and few examples of each poster have survived. Goes also printed posters for Edwin Brush, Eugene Laurant, and a host of other entertainers. The firm later sold off a portion of its business to several employees who founded the Illinois Litho. Co. Illinois kept Carter’s account active and printed many beautiful images for him, including magnificent billboards advertising his version of the Sawing in Half illusion.
• BRINDAMOUR, GEORGE. THE GREAT BRINDAMOUR
  BRINDAMOUR, GEORGE. THE GREAT BRINDAMOUR MAGICIAN. THE ...Cincinnati & New York: The Strobridge Litho. Co., ca. 1903. Striking full color lithograph depicts Brindamour performing the Levitation illusion, his brunette assistant suspended in mid-air in front of him, while mystic rays radiate from his fingertips, apparently causing her to float in mid air. Three gnomes look on as he performs. 17 5/8 x 27 ¼". Tiny repaired tears, minor restoration in lower border; A-. Scarce. Best-remembered as an escape artist, Brindamour (1870 – 1941) was Houdini’s most successful competitor. Besides jail breaks, his signature escape was a handcuffed bridge jump, sometimes into partially-frozen rivers. He also devised clever escape stunts from unusual devices and restraints, including locked barrels filled with beer, a spiked Spanish Cell, and glass display cases. The levitation was part of his full stage show that was soon abandoned in favor of his more successful (and in-demand) escape act. As a result, few posters featuring Brindamour’s illusions have survived the years. Along with Brindamour’s magic apparatus, the posters were discovered in storage in the 1920s.
