Stanyon's Magic (1900-1914 1919-1920) | 1900-10-10 | 1920-06-10 | Ellis Stanyon London Vol.1- Vol.15 From http://www.illusionata.com/mpt/view.php?id=49&type=mc When Ellis Stanyon suspended publication of "Magic" in 1914, the last issue was numbered Vol. 14 #11. When he resumed publication after the end of the war, he dated the first issue Sept. 1914-Sept.1919 and called it Vol. 1 #12. The next issue, Oct. 1919 was called Vol. 15 #1 and it ran regularly until it expired with Vol. 15 #9 (June 1920). Many contemporary collectors had Vol. 14 bound prior to 1919, and as a result omitted #12. When the magazine resumed publication, it was an easy matter to get the 9 copies of volume 15 and overlook completely the 12th issue of Vol. 14. Stanyon did little to help the situation when his ads read in 1919 that " a new volume (15) is now starting" and failed to indicate that Volume 14 was being completed at the same time. Consequently, although Vol. 14 #12 is nowhere near as scarce as certain others (Vol. 15 # 9 for example), many collectors my be missing that issue and not even realize it. | |
