Anderson, Professor (John Henry Anderson). Professor Anderson St. James’s Hall Handbill. London, ca. 1869. Pictorial handbill bearing an engraving of Anderson atop the globe, the reverse letterpress-printed with Anderson’s program at St. James’s Grand Hall, “The Great Christmas Entertainment” – “World of Magic, or St. Johnny, H. Anderson, and The Fair Clairvoyante and the Rope-Tying Revels!” Strip of old mounting paper adhered along margin. The printer of this handbill apparently repurposed uncut sheets of one of Anderson’s pamphlets, “Scenes in the Life of Professor Anderson,” leaving portions of one line of text and illustration intact in the margin.
