Collection Overview

Description:: The collection consists of three scrapbooks (numbered 267, 268, 269) of publicity photographs--compiled by C. A. George Newmann and collected by Jones (Princeton Class of 1911)--of some 19th- but mainly 20th-century mentalists, magicians, ventriloquists, and illusionists. A typed commentary accompanies most of the photographs, and many of them are inscribed to Newmann. Included are photographs of well-known actors and actresses who also excelled at magic, such as Anna May Wong, Veronica Lake, Bela Lugosi, and Edmund Lowe.

Custodial History:: The collection was included in a larger gift by Carl Waring Jones to the Rare Books Division of the Library. The numbering of the scrapbooks is inherited from the sequencing of the former Theatre Collection scrapbooks.
Archival Appraisal Information:: No appraisal information is available.

Access Restrictions:: The collection is open for research.

No further photoduplication of copies of material in the collection can be made when Princeton University Library does not own the original.
