Description
-
This print was the frontispiece of a pamphlet that would have promoted the Mr Henry’s (John Henry Galbreath) performances. Henry was a Scottish or English performer who had appeared at the Lyceum Theatre and Astley’s Amphitheatre in 1788. He toured a show featuring mechanical amusements, conjuring and ventriloquism. It shows the stage layout of an early 19th century magic show, including draped tables to conceal assistants. Mr. Henry stands at the centre, holding a broken bottle that has just released a live bird.
