Beschreibung:

Autograph book containing numerous signatures and inscriptions, signed photographs, cards, clippings, etc., 1908 through 1948, oblong 8vo (7 3/4 by 5 inches), black cloth, upper cover lettered "Autographs" in gilt. A few leaves detached, generally very good. This autograph book was likely kept by Victor Dealy, a longtime member, and eventual president of the Yogi Club of Philadelphia Magicians. Visitors to the club who signed the book include: Harry Houdini: "Love Laughs at Locksmiths / so does Harry Houdini / Born April 6 -- 1874 / Appleton Wisc.", Howard Thurston, Harry Blackstone: "My Prayer for today / Oh! Lord give the / people of this world / common sense / beginning with me / Harry Blackstone / 11-19-1946." with a self-portrait in pen and ink, and others. Also included are holiday cards from Thurston and Houdini, the latter with photographic portrait on the recto, a silver print photograph of members of the Yogi Club (3 5/8 by 4 5/8 inches), and early Yogi Club minutes. An interesting collection.
