Man Visible and Invisible, Examples of Different Types of Men as Seen by Means of Trained Clairvoyance. With Frontispiece, Three Diagrams, and Twenty-Two Coloured Illustrations.

"Man Visible and Invisible: Examples of Different Types of Men as Seen by Means of Trained Clairvoyance" by C. W. Leadbeater, published in New York by John Lane: The Bodley Head in 1903. This illustrated work explores the Theosophical view of human beings as perceived through trained clairvoyance, using colored illustrations and diagrams to present different types of people and their purported subtle or spiritual characteristics.

Octavo (6.25" x 9.5"). (10), 144, and (16) pages. Bound in full navy cloth with silver-gilt lettering to the upper board and spine, and gilt top edge. Lacking the dust jacket but protected in transparent dust jacket. The binding shows edgewear, bumped and rubbed corners, and lightly ruffled spine ends with tiny closed tears. The boards are lightly soiled. Neat triangular prior-owner stamps appear on both pastedowns and the title page. The interior is very clean overall, with minor finger smudging to the outside of one folding color plate. Illustrated with a color frontispiece, three diagrams, and 22 colored illustrations, all present.

A very nice early twentieth-century volume for collectors of Theosophy, occult literature, esoteric philosophy, and historically significant illustrated works on clairvoyance.
