Granville, J.J. – ‚Mr Bosco, prestidigitateur une Taitbout, no.9‘ .

The famous 19th century conjuror Bartolomeo Bosco is alluded to here in a satire on King Louis-Philippe from the French magazine La Caricature. This refers to a famous political caricature by J.J. Grandville from 1832. In it, King Louis-Philippe is depicted as the Italian magician Bartolomeo Bosco, who is “performing magic” at 9 Rue Taitbout in Paris to divert attention from the scandals of his government. – La Caricature (Journal) No.108. – Light stains, was folded in the middle.
