1855AQ33661Hartford Connecticut: Calhoun Steam Printing Co. 1855. Single leaf broadside. With blank spaces left for insertion of location time and day of performance. A trifle creased several small holes. A provincially published American broadside advertising an evening of preeminent prestidigitation presented by Connectican multipotentialite Albert Walker 1836-1902. Born in Glastonbury to a family of agricultural labourers Walker entertained a multifarious variety of vocations and enthusiasms including but not limited to cutlery manufacture clock cleaning wagon repair cock-fighting and horse racing. He maintained a life-long passion for magic and ventriloquism constructing his own props for use in performances across the state throughout the mid-nineteenth century. Designed - as evidenced by the blank spaces - to be used in multiple locations with the time date and location to be completed in manuscript this broadside nevertheless is not short on detail of the programme involving sleight of hand 'feats of natural magic' a Punch and Judy performance and Walker's 'celebrated nose amputation'.
