CARL HANSEN - Lot 167
CARL HANSEN Magnetism and Hypnotism Show… 1884. Vintage promotional poster, printed on thin paper (dark purple), printed by Albert Gallot - Auxerre. 42.5 x 31 cm. Slight discoloration along the edges and a small tear at the fold line. Note: This 1884 promotional poster advertises the performances of Carl Hansen, a famous Danish magnetizer and hypnotist who enjoyed immense success in Europe in the late 19th century. At a time when phenomena related to animal magnetism, hypnosis, and the psychic sciences were captivating the public, Hansen was among the most renowned performers of his era. His shows, combining experiments in suggestion, pseudoscientific demonstrations, and theatrical performances, attracted a large audience curious about new theories on the workings of the human mind. Printed in Auxerre by Albert Gallot on dark purple paper, this poster is a remarkable testament to popular entertainment culture and the craze for the occult and experimental sciences in the late 19th century. Original posters related to magnetism and hypnotism remain highly sought after today for their historical, graphic, and sociological significance.
