A fascinating collection of ephemera. I'm struck by the elaborate hand lettering on the booklet covers. Lots of culture-mashing here, but my favorite is the "Egyptian Fortune Teller Japanese Fate Book," which features a mustachioed woman wearing a conical hat, an owl, a black cat, and nary a Japanese in sight. By the way, Wikipedia has an interesting article about "Col. Routh Goshan, the Arabian Giant." He was an exceptionally tall Manx man who reinvented himself as a mysterious Arab soldier and appeared in big-time freak shows. If you look him up, Wikipedia spells it "Goshen."
