A grand fairly spectacle About 25 1/4” x 12 1/2”. Penciled notes on reverse, Boston Museum 1841-1903, and Talisman 1853. Double matted. No Year date given (Printed), my estimate is 1853, I think 1881 is too late. Absolutely wonderful reading. I would say archivally framed.
Playbills represent by far the largest body of ephemeral texts that have survived
