" New York, Phipps & Alpuente, 1893, format oblong in-8°, 15 x 23 cm, 100 pp. Sewn, original printed cover. Rare trade catalogue of a theatre and entertainment agency. Each page contains an advertisment for an artist or a perfomer (singers, orators, character actors; banjo players;whistler;dancer....) Most pages with an illustration of the performer.; nicely executed, in very fine condition. We gather that a part of the earnings made by this Agency came from the performing artists who presumably had to pay for figuring is this fine trade catalogue.."
