 Mimique Physiognomie Gestes by Giraudet

I was bequeathed an old fading and crumbling heat copy of this rare textbook on mime, the original dated 1895.  It was the basic textbook of the Decroux school of Paris which produced South Africa's Richard Daneel and the international star Marcel Marceau.  I have managed to scan this deteriorating volume, and it is available to mime practitioners free on request.  The file size is 316 MB.
