Die Magie des XIX. Jahrhunderts als Kunst und als Geheimwissenschaft

Uriarte, Maier, Friedrich · 1896 · Berlin [etc.] Heuser · 9 pictures

A German-language survey of nineteenth-century magic as stage craft and occult science, credited to the conjurer Uriarte with Friedrich Maier, published by Heuser in Berlin in 1896 for magicians and readers curious about spiritualism. Halftone portraits of performers and researchers sit beside staged séance scenes—a draped white apparition beside a scholar with a skull—plus wood-engraved bust portraits and red-ruled frames useful for title pages.
