Carnival and the Formation of a Caribbean Transnation
Broadsides where the advertisements of the 17 and 1800's. And the acts they advertised seem better than the television shows, plays and concerts we now attend. Crazy magicians, automata, giant heads, impossible juggling, freaks, and mermaids. Imagine going to see the first ever elephant in America or the greatest German living born without legs or hands but could do amazing things. We can't go back in time and see them in all their glory but we can imagine it all because of the remnants and research of Ricky Jay. The ads themselves are just as creative as some of the acts - especially when naming the different tricks and pieces. The Chinese Plate and Dish Dance, The Magic Money, The Bird from Sebastopol, The Inexhaustable Hen…are all from just one broadside. If your are in advertising or design you have to see these. They are beautiful vehicles to take you back to the world as it was.
