The Evanion Victorian Ephemera Catalogue at the British Library

above: Royal Aquarium, Westminster. Poster for Chang the Chinese Giant, c.1880.

"With some hesitancy of speech but the loving touch of a collector he opened his parcel. "I have brought you, sir, only a few of my treasures, sir, but if you will call - "

I heard no more. I remember only raising my hands before my eyes, as if I had been dazzled by a sudden shower of diamonds. In his trembling hands lay priceless treasures for which I had sought in vain … In the presence of his collection I lost all track of time.'

- Evanion’s collection as described by Harry Houdini in his book The Unmasking of Robert-Houdin, London, 1909
