Blackstone, Harry (Henry Boughton). Early Scrapbook of Blackstone’s Newspaper Publicity. Collected by Blackstone (or a member of his company) during 1921 and 1922 (primarily the latter), and comprising several hundred clippings of news features, advertising, and photographs published in papers of the era. Included are three photostats of Blackstone ads, and a humorous pencil sketch of Harry and Pete Bouton by Maughlin’s Studio of York, PA fills the first page. Several photographs and clippings related to Blackstone’s illusion “Seized by the Ku Klux Klan.” Others outline his Vanishing Horse, his “bunny matinees,” and still others picture and chronicle his many overboard packing box escapes. Thick 4to album, bound in one-third leather. A fascinating chronicle of Blackstone’s early tours.
