[GOLDSTON]. Original Photographic Collages for Who’s Who in Magic. [London: Will Goldston Ltd., 1934.] Nine collages used as the photographic plates to illustrate Goldston’s directory of magicians, comprised of stiff boards decorated with trimmed black-and-white photographs of the great magicians of the “golden age,” including Houdini, Chung Ling Soo, Max Malini, T. Nelson Downs, Harry Kellar, Howard Thurston, Okito, and dozens more. At the center of one board is an image of novelist Sax Rohmer, a member of Goldston’s Magician’s Club of London, INSCRIBED AND SIGNED by the author to Goldston. Each sheet is accented with original pen-and-ink frames and decorations. The largest image 20 x 11 ¼”. Edgewear and penciled notations to margins and versos, but very good overall.
