- Lot Description
[PEPPER?S GHOST] Phantoscope. Birmingham: J. Upton, Printer, [1872]. Letterpress broadside for the varied production at the Regent Hall, Yarmouth, of not only Pepper and Tobin?s groundbreaking effect, but ?The Phantoscope,? billed as ?much more wonderful in its effects than the ordinary Ghost apparatus.? Also on the bill is ?Professor Pepper?s Proteus or, We are Here but Not Here!? as produced at the Royal Polytechnic. 20 x 7 ??. Tiny marginal chips. Presented in concert with a ?Spectrescope,? the ?Phantoscope? is advertised as making possibly a huge range of optical effects, including flying angels (and demons), ladies dancing amidst flames of ?real fire,? various dissolving views, and an adaptation of Dickens? Christmas Carol in the materialization of a ?Haunted Man.?
