EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Modern Ghost-Raising (Engraving)" offers a fascinating glimpse into the mysterious world of the supernatural during the 19th century. Created by an English School artist and now part of a private collection, this engraving takes us behind the scenes at the renowned Royal Polytechnic Institute on Regent Street in London. Published in the Illustrated London News on January 16,1875, this intriguing artwork captures a scene where men and women are engaged in raising ghosts through modern techniques. The image showcases their intense focus as they attempt to bridge the gap between our world and that of spirits beyond. The Royal Polytechnic Institute was known for its innovative approach to scientific demonstrations and public entertainment. This particular display sheds light on society's fascination with paranormal activities during that era. It serves as a testament to how people sought answers about life after death through unconventional means. As we observe this snapshot from history, it sparks curiosity about what motivated individuals to explore such uncharted territories. Were they driven by genuine belief or simply captivated by spectacle? Regardless, this engraving invites us to ponder upon our own relationship with mortality and spirituality. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can appreciate not only the artistic skill involved but also gain insight into an era when ghost-raising held both intrigue and controversy within Victorian society.
