Practical instruction in hypnotism and suggestion
A 1903 Chicago instruction manual on hypnotism and suggestion by Herbert L. Flint, published by Flint & Flint for general readers learning the practice. Its pages pair a decorative Art Nouveau border with an oval portrait of the author, a bearded man in a dark suit, beside a block of bold capitals. A designer might take the curving whiplash frame, the oval portrait setting, and the mixed serif and monospaced type as period display ideas.
