Julius Laschott was best known for his Òdissolving viewsÓ but he began as and remained a magician,
performing sleight of hand and Òchemical and physical experimentsÓ in his shows. Born Joseph Tschernoth in Ljubljana he studied Physics in Graz and began his stage career in 1842. His dissolving views were favourably compared to DšblerÕs and his skill in magic was said to rival that of both Dšbler and Bosco. There is also new information here on Dšbler and his Oxyhydrogen microscope and on the career of another rival Carl Schuh., Laschott, Dobler, magic lanterns, oxyhydrogen microscope, Rowan Gibbs| 9781326583743 | 136PAGES
