[Blow Book] Ambigu Magique. French, ca. 1778. Contemporary marbled wrappers. Illustrated with hand-colored engraved plates, including images of the Harlequin, playing cards, flowers, Le Mere Idienne, Soldate en Faction, Le Pere Manent, La Mere Goule, and many others. With full margins, the edges lightly or mildly curled from use, spine perished, but well-preserved and clean internally. The contents of the book appear to change each time the magician blows it open and riffles through the pages. Rare.
