HAHNE, Nelson (1908 ? 70). Archive of Pen-and-Ink Hahne Cartoons and Magic Catalog Illustrations. 1930s ? 60s. Approximately 95 original drawings on artist's boards and paper, many being humorous cartoons conceived and drawn by Hahne for The Linking Ring magazine, the journal of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, for which he served as art director for some 40 years. Other Hahne drawings in the archive include pictures for John Snyder's magic catalog, magic-themed Christmas cards, and at least one instructional diagram for a levitating bottle effect. Styles represented include Hahne's classic deco-influenced detailed work to his later 1950s and 60s mid-century themed works. The largest images 11 x 8 ?", with some smaller examples included, and most corrected or captioned in Hahne's hand, bearing crop marks, notations, or bearing his signature or initials. A very good collection of material from the pen of the artist long considered one of the finest illustrators in the history of twentieth century magic.
