- Lot Description
FOX, Madame T. Astronomy! Madame T. Fox. Inexhaustible Bottle! Manchester: Kiernan, Printer, ca. 1865. Letterpress broadside on thin stock advertising the appearance of this female conjuror at the Knott Mill Fair, presenting the specialties of the era, including the distribution of bonbons, toys, bouquets, and coffee to the audience (the candies produced by magic), and other feats made popular by Robert-Houdin, Professor Anderson, and their contemporaries. Central wood-engraved image depicts a panoply of fairground amusements, including jugglers, Mr. Punch, and a snake charmer. 19 ? x 10?. Small losses and tears. Scarce, having been issued in an era in which only a handful of women worked as magicians. See Exemplars, p. 210.
