Memoirs of Robert-Houdin. London: Chapman & Hall, 1859. Copyright Edition. Vol. II.
Written by Robert-Houdin himself, the influential conjuror widely regarded as the father of modern magic. Original blue cloth binding with gilt spine lettering and decorative stamped boards. Retains an early magician/collector ownership label for Henry V. Griffin on the front pastedown. Wear to binding and corners consistent with age; pages remain clean and well preserved overall. A handsome nineteenth-century example of one of the foundational works in magic literature. Very good condition.
