EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the enigmatic Daniel Dunglas Home conjuring a hand to knot Empress Eugenie's delicate handkerchief. The illustration, taken from Yveling Rambaud's "Force Psychique" and skillfully engraved by Paul Albert Besnard in 1889, transports us to a time of mysticism and intrigue. Daniel Dunglas Home, renowned as a Victorian medium, held seances for none other than Napoleon III and his wife at the opulent Tuileries Palace in 1857. This particular moment captures the essence of his extraordinary abilities as he astounds the royal couple with his supernatural powers. Dressed in an elegant evening gown befitting her regal status, Empress Eugenie gazes intently at the disembodied hand that materializes before her eyes. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as she witnesses this remarkable display of occultism firsthand. Home himself exudes an air of formality and confidence as he performs this mesmerizing feat. His reputation as a psychic medium precedes him, making him both revered and feared among those who seek answers beyond our earthly realm. This intriguing image not only showcases Home's incredible talents but also serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with paranormal phenomena during this era. It invites us to ponder on the mysteries that lie just beyond our comprehension while marveling at the intricate artistry captured by Florian's print.
