Abstract
|
|
|
|
| From the opening of the Minard Theater in Ghent (1846), many actors, singers, and artists graced its stage. It was also a favorite venue for magicians such as Mélidès, M. Robin, Bénévol, Cazaneuve, Ernest Patrizio, Donato, and Léon Herrmann. Night after night, they delighted the audience with their skills, scientific experiments, or spiritualistic manifestations. Starting from 1858, just 12 years after the theater's opening, this book paints a picture of the era and the programs of these wonder-workers using posters from the rich archives called 'the flying papers' of the University library Boekentoren of the city of Ghent. |
