American magicians

Scrapbook assembled probably by Harry Houdini. Newspaper and magazine clippings, letters (chiefly addressed to Charles L. Burlingame and Jasper Bamberg), letterheads, handbills, programs, and brochures on magicians and mediums. More international than the cover title implies; material in English, French, Spanish, German, and other languages. Ms. annotations are in the hand of Houdini.
