BOSCO, Giovanni Bartolomeo (1793 – 1863). BOSCO Prestidigitatore. [Florence]: Galletti, 1861. Letterpress broadside advertising some of the final performances of the famed Italian sleight-of-hand magician at Teatro Niccolini. The bill makes plain that Bosco will present a two-part program of twenty feats each evening, but that no effect will be repeated, with the exception of the “invisible balls,” possibly an allusion to his trademark feat of the Cups and Balls, for which he was best known. 11 1/8 x 8”. Old folds, else very good. Rare.
