Artemus Ward in his entertainment at the Egyptian Hall. 1866

This print is a cutting from a newspaper. We are grateful to Leslie Myrick for telling us that the illustration is from Illustrated Times (London), 24 November 1866, page 13, a year when Artemus Ward was at the Egyptian Hall. A column on the back of the print is also illustrated here. It deals with Ward and, although unfortunately not the whole article, it makes it clear that he is a very good entertainer and light hearted lecturer. See Ref. no. N1989 for an example of his programme. This is one of the items contained in a wooden box of 19th century ephemera, mainly relating to the Egyptian Hall.
