The Collection of Edwin A. Dawes, Part II
This second sale from the Dawes collection is quite literally a "rich cabinet" of conjuring curiosa. The sale features rarities galore, from unique props used by Professor J.M. Hartz and Chung Ling Soo to stone lithographs advertising Harry Houdini's earliest performances; rare conjuring books from the seventeenth century and beyond; postcards, photographs, periodicals, and ephemera; and virtually every other type of magic collectible extant.
