Omikron "The Human Gaslight"

Printed Poster-Style Postcard. Certainly one of the strangest and most obscure acts encountered, this (most likely) German performer OMIKRON inhaled flamable gas and breathed it into lamps that could then be ignited and lit up. The card shows him holding a streetlamp over his head he's removed from its post-- the ladder is still propped against it-- while breathing gas into it and illuminating the scene. A man in the background raises his hands in surprise. On verso, rubberstamped: "Standige Adresse [Permanent address], OMIKRON, Leipzig N.23, Klüxsir. 9."fouro
