The Reverse or Upward Pass, for Demesmerizing

A black-and-white halftone engraving from a late nineteenth-century book shows a standing man in a dark suit making hand gestures toward a seated, bearded man in a dark jacket on an upholstered chair with tasselled fringe. The background includes a carved wooden panel and draped fabric. The printed caption beneath reads "The Reverse or Upward Pass, for Demesmerizing."
