EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures an intriguing moment during Harry Price's investigations into the mediumistic abilities of the brothers Rudi and Willi Schneider, which took place on March 8, 1932. Price, a renowned psychical researcher, was examining the brothers' alleged ability to produce automatic writing and other phenomena during seances. The image shows a table set up for an automatic photograph session, an essential part of Price's investigations. The table, known as an electrical counter-poise table, was designed to eliminate external influences and create a controlled environment for the seance. The table features a series of wires and electrical components that were connected to the tabletop and the participants' hands, aiming to neutralize any electromagnetic fields that could interfere with the phenomena. Rudi and Willi Schneider, seated at the table, appear focused and serious as they prepare for the experiment. The brothers were known for their mediumistic abilities, including producing automatic writing and levitation, which they claimed were facilitated by spirits. Price's investigations aimed to scientifically examine these claims and assess their validity. This photograph is a significant historical document, providing a glimpse into the methods and techniques used by Price and other researchers during the early 20th century to study paranormal phenomena. It is an essential addition to any collection focused on the history of psychical research, spiritualism, and parapsychology.
