Book
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 3rd Edition. 8vo. Hardcover. Three Volumes. Vol 1 pp. 375. Vol 2 pp. 410. Vol 3 pp. 411. Third edition, considerably enlarged. Contains 102 engraved plates. In very good condition; leather binding with raised bands and gilt title and decoration on the spine. Covers have scuffs and wear as expected with age. Marbled end-paper. Corners bumped and the spines starting to chip at the ends, with hints of cracking between the spine and boards. Nonetheless binding remains tight. Some slight scratches and tears in the leather, with very small dents to the covers. Pages themselves are clean and unmarked with light foxing and ghosting. The first dozen pages of volume 1 are slightly creased, and the haf-title has a small tear in upper left corner. The plate on page 114 is torn in the lower corner, and the plate on page 149 has a small tear in the middle of the page and another on the margin. The end-papers are starting to peel away from their adjoining pages. Overall in very good condition. The author was a French polymath and manufacturer of both serious scientific instruments and conjuring apparatus; his fascination with magic and illusion is clear from this intriguing work which was first published in 1769.

Edmé-Gilles Guyot (1706 1786) a mené des expériences sur les illusions d'optique. Ses développements dans l'apparition apparente de fantômes, utilisant la projection d'un visage dans la fumée, ont contribué aux techniques utilisées dans la fantasmagorie.

Quelques rousseurs. Troisième édition augmentée de l'un des plus curieux ouvrages du genre. Ce livre, dans la lignée du célèbre Traité complet des récréations mathématiques d'Ozanam, décrit et commente de nombreuses expériences amusantes déduites des propriétés curieuses de la physique et des mathématiques. Ces "récréations", indispensables à l'illusionniste et au prestidigitateur enseignent des expériences curieuses tirées des effets de l'aimant, de l'optique, de l'électricité, de la perspective, de l'arithmétique, ainsi que des jeux de mains (cartes à jouer, gobelets etc.). On y trouve des inventions très curieuses dont la fameuse lanterne magique. Le tome I décrit des tours de magie et récréations physiques autour de l'aimant et de l'électricité. Le deuxième traite de la géométrie, de l'optique, du feu et de l'air. Le troisième, des jeux avec les nombres, des jeux de passe-passe avec les mains, des tours de cartes de la mécanique et des écritures occultes. A la fin du troisième volume on trouve (pp. 401 à 408) le catalogue des prix des pièces de récréations que Guyot fabriquait et vendaient à Paris. Le livre est copieusement illustré de planches gravées qui décrivent précisément le matériel à mettre en oeuvre.

Honeyman 1584.- Zweite Auflage, die Erstausgabe erschien 1769.- Guyot (1706-1786) experimentierte mit optischen Täuschungen, entwickelte wissenschaftliche Instrumente und beeinflusste so u.a. auch die Entstehung der Laterna Magica.

Die Sammlung enthält 59 'Récréations': Beschreibungen von Experimenten, Beispiele zur Ausführung von mathematischen und magischen Tricks, so z.B. Kartentricks, optische Täuschungen, Laterna Magica, die Erklärung des Hooper-Paradoxons u.a.

Hardcover. Second Enlarged Edition. Eight parts bound into 4 octavo (5-1/4" x 8") volumes in contemporary half calf over paste-paper boards, spines gilt with gilt morocco lettered labels, decorative endpapers. Illustrated with 99 (all but 5 are Hand-Colored) full-page illustrations (3 folding) and 2 engraved tables. Guyot, 1706-1786, first published this famous compilation in 1769. It was a very popular collection of scientific and magical experiments and went through a number of editions, translated into several languages. This is apparently the second edition and is expanded with more material and plates than the first printing. At the end of each part is a price list for the purchase of the apparatus necessary for the demonstrations. HONEYMAN 1584. An 1816 French school presentation bookplate on the front pastedown of the first volume. Spine of first volume darkened by dampstain and worn at head of spine and back cover, corners worn, volume label missing from Volume I; dampstains in Volume I, endleaves of Volume II slightly bent at edge, minor dampstains in Volumes II and III. Still, quite a nice set. Good.
