L'Album Magique (1908)

This is a beautifully colored picture, opening with a scene in the laboratory of an old wizard, who is bending over a vessel compounding some sort of magic fluid, out of which much to our astonishment and delight spring a group of beautiful girls followed by a lot of funny, grotesque-looking people. Next the old fellow opens an album that is lying on the table and the outlines of faces are drawn as if by a spirit hand. When each drawing is finished it comes to life and presents some beautiful portraits of pretty girls, who amuse us with their fascinating manners.
