Blackstone, Harry (Henry Boughton). Archive of Over 250 Harry Blackstone Photo Negatives. V.p., ca. 1960s—70s. Massive collection of black-and-white photo negatives, most 8 x 10” and stored in original wax sleeves with “Kodak Safety Film” printed in the margins, containing a career-spanning archive of images but tending to represent the later years more heavily. Encompassing a vast array of image types and well-worthy of further classification, the archive includes candid and studio images of all manner of on- and off-stage performances of magic tricks, escapes, and illusions; posed shots and portraits of the magician alone or in small and large groups including crowds, with assistants, family, friends, and with fellow magicians and other entertainers; at clubs and conventions; marquees, posters, and lobby displays; portraits of assistants alone; and much more. Should be Seen.
