Le magicien des salons, ou, Le diable couleur de rose : recueil nouveau de tours d'escamotage, de physique amusante, de chimie récréative, de tours de cartes, magie blanche, etc., etc.
A French handbook of parlour magic, card tricks, amusing physics and recreational chemistry, compiled by Richard and published by Delarue in Paris in 1873 for amateur conjurers. Small wood engravings show cuffed hands holding coins, cards, boxes and cups mid-manoeuvre, drawn in loose outline with hatched shading, useful for cut-out gesture motifs, instructional diagrams and sleight-of-hand ornament.
