[Scrapbook] Scrapbook from Dai Vernon's trip to Berlin. Compiled in 1978, the oversized (12 x 12") book includes over 100 candid, unpublished monochrome and color photographs of Vernon performing (with cups and balls, silks, ropes and cards), and socializing with his hosts. Many photographs are accompanied by captions or apropos phrases and artwork on the facing page; each page of photographs is protected by a vellum guard. Nearly all photographs include Vernon. 12 images measure 9 ½ x 7", though most are of a smaller format. One stained image, otherwise good condition.
