Also known as 'the mermaid', Miss Lurline's performance principally consisted of staying submerged in a glass tank of water surrounded by fish for two and a half minutes at a time, performing acrobatics and apparently even eating, wearing a close-fitting bodice and fleshings.\n\nOther performers on the bill include Segommer, described as the 'world-famous Ventriloquist and Protean Artist' when he appearing at the London Hippodrome in 1901; Felicien Trewey (1848-1920), the multi-talented magician, mime, comedian, tightrope walker, balance artist, dancer, musician, and 'shadowgraphist', and the equestrienne Mlle. Adeline (1830-1900). Born Christina Friederike Krause, she was trained by the great equestrian and circus proprietor Ernst Renz, and became one of his star performers. In 1858 she had married the equestrian Baptiste Loisset Junior.","physicalDescription":"Typographic.","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Morris, Père et fils","id":"A32676"},"association":{"text":"typographers","id":"AAT25745"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"ink","id":"AAT15012"},{"text":"paper","id":"x30308"}],"techniques":[{"text":"printing","id":"AAT53319"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Letterpress","categories":[{"text":"Entertainment & Leisure","id":"THES48959"},{"text":"Advertising","id":"THES49001"},{"text":"Posters","id":"THES252963"},{"text":"Circus","id":"THES261738"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&P","id":"THES48602"},"images":["2016JG2553"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"006","id":"THES345331"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"posters","id":"AAT27221"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Paris","id":"x29068"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1882","earliest":"1882-01-01","latest":"1882-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"62.4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"poster","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"99","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"poster","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"Stamped with Theatre Museum, V.A.M. stamp.","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":""}],"objectHistory":"This poster was purchased with the scrapbook relating to the career of the 19th-century juggler Paul Cinquevalli.
