Folded size 6 ¾ x 4 ¾”. Uncommon. Examples of a large-format version of this brochure come to market from time to time, used to advertise Vernon’s services as an entertainer in a general way; this is the first version we have encountered in this size, imprinted for a specific venue at which “The Professor” was working.
