A wizard's wanderings from China to Peru
A touring conjurer's travel memoir by English magician John Watkins Holden, published by Dean & Son in London in 1886 for general readers following his performances abroad. The wood engravings mix naval battle scenes with smoke and sinking ships, vignettes of harbours framed by foliage, and small figure studies of costumed riders and couples, all in dense black line suited to spot illustration and silhouette-style cutouts.
