Hypnotism, its facts, theories, and related phenomena;
A hypnotism treatise published in Chicago in 1893 by Carl Sextus, aimed at general readers curious about the subject. Its pictures are pen-and-ink wood engravings of a well-dressed man and a seated woman in Victorian clothing, showing hypnotic gestures, poses and a parlour setting. A designer could take from them the crisp hatching, period fashion and the dramatic staging of gesture between two figures.
