Lynn, Dr. (Hugh Simmons). Dr. Lynn Egyptian Hall Program. London, ca. 1872. Embossed program describes Lynn’s program in great detail, including the Second Sight and “Instantaneous Vegetation.” Splitting at central fold, scrapbook remnants on verso. Dr. Lynn’s appearances at Egyptian Hall coincided with those of Maskelyne and Cooke; the former appeared downstairs, while the latter appeared upstairs. There was sometimes confusion among patrons as to which magic show they were attending when first setting foot in the Hall.
