A parlour-games manual by William B. Dick, published by Dick & Fitzgerald in New York in 1873, laying out twenty-six programmes of charades, tricks and tableaux for middle-class hosts staging evening parties at home. Line engravings demonstrate the business step by step: hands pressed on hands, men balancing on chairs, blindfolded heads and figures under sheets, useful as instructional diagrams and comic vignettes.
