内容简介
An informal history of sensational, scientific, silly and startling attractions based on 17th, 18th and 19th Century Broadsides from the collection of Ricky Jay. With some observations on the convention of promoting such appearances, and digressions on the manner and method of printing advertisements to do so, and with insight into the psychology employed to that end. All compiled in a monograph that is itself a shameless attempt to entertain and elucidate.
