Find out about magic, magicians and conjuring using magic resources from the W G Alma Conjuring Collection and other sources
The Alma Collection contains over 300 posters and over 2000 photographs.
Nearly all of these images have been digitised and can be viewed online using the Library catalogue.
Many of these images are photographic copies made by Will Alma from original images in newspapers, magazines or publicity so the quality is variable.
To view images do a simple keyword search and narrow your search down from the options on the left side of the results screen. For instance try this search on Levante and then choose 'pictures' from under the 'Resources' heading.
To narrow your search just to posters, include the term posters in your catalogue search. For instance try magic posters to retrieve most items.
You could also restrict your search to posters for specific magicians. For instance: Thurston posters.
