[MAGIC]. Grandes Sorpresas. Ponce: El Vapor, 1898. One-color pictorial letterpress broadside playbill advertising, in Spanish and English, an appearance in Puerto Rico by Cav Hermann and his Russian troupe of magicians. Bearing a handsome wood-engraved central image of a female performer seated on a cushion which is impossibly balanced at the edge of two short columns, raising her hand which is tethered to a narrow rope held by a man on the left, another gentleman on the right having just removed a chair that formerly supported her, the three similarly costumed in formal attire. The Spanish text promises this three-part program will feature ?great surprises, appearances and disappearances.? 17 ? x 7 ??. Creases, tears and chipping to edges with small losses.
