4:34p TASCHEN's Magic, 1400s - 1950s
Hello guys,
TASCHEN has just published an amazing book about Magic (Hardcover, 29 x 44 cm (11.4 x 17.3 in.), 650 pages, 7 kg), which celebrates more than 500 years of the dazzling visual culture of the world's greatest magicians.
Featuring more than 1,000 rarely seen vintage posters, photographs, handbills, and engravings as well as paintings by Hieronymus Bosch and Caravaggio among others, this 650-page volume traces the history of magic as a performing art from the 1400s to the 1950s.
