Confederate Broadside: Tableaux Vivants and Conce
<Our item number 86063><B>Confederate Broadside: &#34;Tableaux Vivants and Concert! For the Benefit of the Soldiers of Missouri&#34;.</B> Broadside advertising a Christmas Eve concert in Phoenix Hall &#40;no town&#41;, 1p, 12&#34;x6¼&#34;, n.d &#40;believed to be 1861&#41;. Admission was 25 cents. &#34;Tableaux vivants&#34; were a form of visual performance wherein costumed actors played to a dramatic scene or vignette by posing silently without moving, always accompanied by music or narration. The &#34;programme&#34; selection combined popular with patriotic tunes, rather than sentimental and religious ones; the last piece was &#34;Dixie&#39;s Land.&#34; The location of &#34;Phoenix Hall&#34; is unknown, probably not St. Louis, which was by then firmly under Federal control. There is no mention of a local &#34;Ladies Aid Society&#34; as organizers of the event, so it may well have been a commercial venture. Whatever the case, any Missouri Confederate document is extremely rare. <BR><BR>Southern-leani ng Missouri was officially admitted to the Confederacy on November 28, 1861, but Missouri&#39;s conflict had really begun in the 1850s with &#34;Bloody Kansas.&#34; Missouri was the only state north of the Mason-Dixon line where slavery was legal. Blood feuds and guerilla warfare made the war especially brutal. After Virginia and Tennessee, Missouri witnessed more battles and engagements than any other state--more than 1,000. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;1,800-2,200. <BR><BR>Our item number 86063<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/33jpegs/086063.jpg"> </P></IMAGES> <BR><DIV ALIGN="CENTER"> <TABLE> <TR> <TD><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/ilgebaylogo.JPG"></TD> <TD> 350 South Beverly Drive Suite 350<BR> Beverly Hills, CA 90212, USA<BR> Telephone: 310-551-2646<BR> Fax: 310-551-2626<BR> E-Mail: <A HREF="mailto:brian@goldbergcoins.com"> info@goldbergcoins.com </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <font color=red> <h3>There is a 20% commission charge added to each and every lot.</h3></font> <P>We are one of the country's premier auction houses, specializing in U.S., World and Ancient Coins and Currency; Autographs; Manuscripts; Rare Books and other Fine Collectibles.
