Around the world with a magician and a juggler : unique experiences in many lands : from the papers of the late Baron Hartwig Seeman, "The Emperor of Magicians" and William D'Alvini, juggler "Jap of Japs"
This is a Chicago 1891 travel memoir by Hardin J. Burlingame, recounting the adventures of the magician Hartwig Seeman and the juggler William D'Alvini in Britain, Sweden and elsewhere, drawn from their papers and aimed at general readers. The pictures are small halftone portraits of men in period suits, with one group photograph of four men gathered around a small pedestal table, mostly in soft grey tones. A designer might take from them the sober studio portrait conventions of the 1890s, including oval vignettes, waxed moustaches and full beards.
