Tajemnice magii i spirytyzmu w świetle nauki : podług źródeł obcych

1893 · nakładem Księgarni Teodora Paprockiego i S-ki;(Drukiem Saturnina Sikorskiego) · 16 pictures

A Polish popular-science debunking of conjuring tricks and spiritualist séances, compiled from foreign sources and issued in Warsaw by Teodor Paprocki's bookshop in 1893. The wood-engraved text cuts are small and instructional: cuffed hands manipulating threads, knives and coins, apparatus shown in cutaway, and a full-figure performer with a suspended watch, all usable as isolated gesture vignettes or diagram elements on toned paper.
