Description

This is a very good hardcover copy in a very good dust jacket with some wear. The jacket is all there not price-clipped but has minor soiling, a few small closed tears and one tiny repaired hole at the lower edge of the front panel. Completely clean inside. Four pages have an indentation or wrinkle, at the lower edge, probably from the binder. Illustrated throughout in color and black & white. Classic study of the 'Theatre of Marvels' or popular street theater which was practiced in Europe from 1789 to the 1860's. This study grew out of the author's work at Harvard and later the Sorbonne on this fascinating subject. Profusely illustrated in color and black & white with about 200 prints and engravings. Preface by Marcel Marceau. Bibliography. 12" high X 9" wide, 208 pages. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and sent with tracking.
