Downs, T. Nelson. The Art of Magic. Three variant editions. Two states of the First Edition (New York, 1909) – including the “vandalized” edition known as the ‘spurious’ first edition, which unlike the true first (also included) lacks the dedication page and several portrait illustrations (see Byron Walker, “The ‘Spurious’ Downs,” in Magicol 53); and the Second Edition (Chicago, 1921). All three in publisher’s red pictorial cloth, illustrated. Condition generally good, with the ‘spurious’ edition dark-stained at spine-head.
