Letterpress broadside advertising the nightly performances of this drum major whose recitals are to include selections on as many as fifteen different instruments, with “twenty-eight drumsticks flying in the air – playing on fifteen drums!!!” The finale of the performance, depicted in a large wood engraved image at the top of the bill, was to be his rendition of “Buonaparte’s Entry into Elba,” played by the musician “suspended in the air, with his head hanging downwards!!!” 14 ⅝ x 9 ¼”. Chips around perimeter, else very good.
