The Wizard Catalogue 1899, Manhattan Optical Co. of N.Y. (Cresskill, NJ), dated 1899, ~8 ½"x6", 64pp

The Wizard View Camera, pages 26-27, is a model which, like the Flammang Revolving Back Camera of American Optical, is really two constructions - front focus and rear focus, grouped under one name.  This is also the era of the view camera in a box, the Long Focus Wide Angle Wizard, pages 6-9, the first camera listed in the catalog, and the one for which the most pages are devoted.
