Hypnotism and hypnotic suggestion; a scientific treatise on the uses and possibilities of hypnotism, suggestion and allied phenomena
A 1900 treatise on hypnotism and suggestion by Charles S. Clark and E. Virgil Neal, published in Rochester, New York, and aimed at general readers interested in suggestive therapeutics. The four plates show two men in frock coats and suits posed in demonstration gestures, one guiding the other's head, hands, or hand toward the face in a stylised way. Their plain line hatching and tidy poses offer a clear, dated reference for staging figure gestures and period menswear.
