About this work

Description

Handbill advertising the arrival and exhibition of American Jack, the Frog Man, "the world's marvel". The leaflet is deliberately vague about what a Frog Man consists of, despite an illustration showing him as an actual frog with a human face. Printed in black on pale yellow paper. A mermaid is also one of the attractions to be seen as well as stereoscopic views of the United States, galvanic batteries and a spirometer.
