The Secret of the Magian: or, the mystery of Ecbatana, etc. [A tale
An 1892 adventure novel of Persian antiquity and occult ritual by André Laurie (Paschal Grousset), issued in London by Sampson Low & Co. for English readers of translated French romance. The 24 plates are tinted wood engravings of night scenes lit from within: a robed magus over a smoking tripod, spectral figures rising in caves, jeering crowds on a road, each captioned with a line of dialogue.
