Description
Conjuring.- "Magic Volume (The)!", 48ff. most with hand-colour lithographs on either side, printed instructions laid onto inside front cover, original marbled wrappers, splitting to spine, light creasing, 12mo, S. H. & E. A., 1840.
⁂ A rare trick volume, Library Hub lists the Bodleian copy only. The book appears to change contents depending on how the pages are flicked through, an effect achieved with different-sized tabs along the fore-edge. Among the several repeated illustrations appears Queen Victoria as a Queen of Hearts with her birth and marriage dates.
