xii, 196pp. Pictorial laminated light card covers. 8vo. Light chipping to edges and wear to covers, corners starting to curl. Annotations and underlining. Otherwise, internally, clean, bright and tight.

An examination of one of the most charismatic Georgian entertainers. Offering a heady mix of conjuring, science, quackery and all round showmanship, Prussian-born Gustavus Katterfelto amused, amazed and informed audiences throughout the last quarter of the eighteenth century. Such was his prevalence that the word Katerfelto became synonymous with charlatan.
