[Women Magicians] Wyman, Miss. Miss Wyman Alhamra Broadside. Dated October 25, 1846. Letterpress broadside on yellow stock advertises the appearance of this ?celebrated Lady Magicienne? on a bill including tableaus vivants, scriptural music, puppets (fantoccini), and ?a sacred concert.? 15 x 5 7/8?. Minor pinholes and folds. Playbills featuring lady magicians of any era are uncommon; those printed before 1870 are truly rare. Miss Wyman may ? or may not ? have been related to Wyman the Wizard (John Wyman), who performed at the White House for Abraham Lincoln.
