Description

Unusual stage makeup guide from the early 20th century. Date uncertain, though preface is dated 1919. Guidebook/key included. Loose plates, all present but not bound (two holes in edges suggest a two ring binder); two plates listed separately in contents are in fact combined on a single card: Contents of Tafel XXI-XXII are both included in XXI; contents of Tafel D&E are included on single card D.
In German.
Edges of booklet show wear. There are smudges and soiling throughout. Pencilled at top of each plate is the last name of Vic Torsberg, a well-known Chicago magician and entertainer from the first half of the 1900s.
