Boy's Own Paper. Collection of articles on conjuring and kindred subjects extracted from this popular paper of the Victorian era. Many illustrated with engravings and some with photographs. Included are articles by Professor Hoffmann, and discussions of apparatus, automata, pepper's ghost, and much more. 1880s – 1900s. Each article or group of articles contemporarily bound with stiff paper tape by the original owner of this collection of well over 100 articles; condition generally fair. Should be seen. Though individual articles from The Boy's Own Paper and contemporary journals often surface, large accumulations such as this one are rarely offered for sale.
