Heller?s Wonders Lithographed Program. London, 1879. Magnificent pictorial four-page program for the show titled ?Heller?s Wonders,? presented by Haidee Heller and Mr. Warren Wright at the Queen?s Hall, Bond Street. Vignettes depict the acts of Second Sight, the Vanishing Birdcage, Peacock Automaton, Table Turning, and other classic feats. 4to. Old folds, else good. Rare. Robert Heller (William Henry Palmer) died in Philadelphia in 1878. Haidee Heller, his assistant and the medium in his version of Second Sight, continued to trade on Heller?s fame after his death, presenting shows such as the one advertised here, together with Warren Wright. The pair later joined Harry Kellar?s show.
