Pictorial poster advertising personal appearances and a lecture on the “descendants of the sacerdotal caste of the days of Montezuma, Cortez, and Pizarro!” The wood-engraved image at the center shows John Henry Anderson behind the “children,” one dancing, the other playing a miniature violin. The trio appears at the Britannia Saloon for “five nights more,” in concert with a varied theatrical production. 29 × 19". Mounted to Chartex, with margins trimmed close, stains and losses in image.
