EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an American playbill from the 19th century, a true gem of entertainment history. The lithograph captures the essence of advertising and performing arts in North America during that era. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this piece transports us back to a time when magic shows, Punch and Judy performances, and other forms of live entertainment captivated audiences. The playbill features a variety of acts that were popular at the time, including a walker (tightrope walker), showcasing their daring feats high above the ground. It also advertises an intriguing spectacle involving nose amputation – a testament to the unique and sometimes bizarre nature of 19th-century entertainment. As we delve into this ephemeral piece of Americana, it becomes clear how important these playbills were in promoting shows across the United States. They served as vital tools for advertisers to attract audiences with eye-catching visuals and enticing descriptions. This photograph print is part of the private collection belonging to Barbara Loe.
