Kellar Wonder Book & Pinback Button - Phil Temple

This 56 page audience booklet is a faithful reproduction of the original 1903 copy in the Byron Walker Collection, and presents the reader with optical illusions, drawing mazes, shadowgraphs, silhouette portraits, party jokes, paper folding effects, and magic tricks of the time...

The button was created to compliment the Kellar Wonder Book, this 1.75" round finback button presents the famous Strobridge Kellar portrait, and is reminiscent of the finback buttons produced in later years by Kellar's successor, Howard Thurston.
