The Highland Youth : this youth, whose miraculous powers of double sight have surprised all who have visited him. Exhibits every day from twelve to half-past five, at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly ... Public Domain Mark. Source: Wellcome Collection.
Small newspaper cutting advertising appearances by Louis Gordon McKean at the Egyptian Hall, London. 'Double sight' appears to have been a kind of mind reading act - he was able to 'see' things when fully blindfolded. There is another small clipping pasted above it called: Critical essay with a small illustration of The Double Sighted Highland Youth.
