[D’AMICO, Anna (1830-1906), subject]. Two Illustrated Newspaper Ads for the Famous Italian Woman Psychic and Mesmerist. [Italy: 19th century]. Folio sheets removed from newspapers. Sizes approximately 14 ½ x 10 ¼” and 15 x 10 ¾”. Some toning, wear, a few marginal tears, chips. Very good. Ephemera of this nature about female psychics or magicians are uncommon. D’Amico (née Bonazinga), along with her husband, Pietro, were stage mesmerists, psychics, and were “experts” on sleepwalking (giving advice to sufferers of this condition). They also founded the “Magnetic Society of Italy.”
