DE KOLTA, Buatier (Joseph Buatier, 1847 – 1903). Classical, Marvellous, and Fantastical Feats by Buatier. [London, 1875]. Letterpress printed and embossed program for the French magician’s extended appearance at the Egyptian Hall, London, presenting “illustrations of the Art of high-class Prestidigitation” including his famous Vanishing Birdcage, among other feats. He shares the bill with Fritz Renhard, whose turn is made up of “wonderful facial delineations.” One 8vo sheet, with old folds and general soiling, and neatly inked date to cover. Scarce.
