Hindu and Egyptian Crystal Gazing: Zacher’s Illustration
Two turbaned figures lean towards a crystal resting upon a small circular table. Each turban bears a star and crescent, while carved faces decorate the table’s narrow legs. The caption names Hindu and Egyptian Crystal Gazing, and the signature reads Zacher, Chicago. The illustration joins a concentrated human gaze with an elaborately staged occult object in de Laurence’s Great Book of Magical Art.
