Orpheus the Organ Grinder

Shadow Pantomimes illustrated.

Geo. M. Baker & Co, Boston.

Theater in earlier times: actors made silhouettes on a white sheet. An introduction and tips to prevent obvious bloopers, then the silhouettes and text of a version of Orpheus, shown here as organ grinder trying to get his wife back from King Pluto.

Scans donated by Peter Ketels, edited by Sytske Wijnsma.
