A Ghost (Ghost [double exposure], 1899) Description: This intriguing photograph, titled "A Ghost," was captured in the late 19th century, specifically in the year 1899. The image, which is part of the vast collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a fascinating example of early photographic experimentation and the enduring allure of the supernatural. The photograph, which is a double exposure, depicts a ghostly apparition floating above a man's shoulder. The man, dressed in turn-of-the-century attire, appears to be deep in thought, oblivious to the ethereal presence behind him. The ghost, shrouded in a misty veil, seems to be reaching out towards him, adding an element of mystery and suspense to the scene. The double exposure technique used in this photograph was a popular method of experimentation during the late 19th century. It allowed photographers to superimpose two images onto a single plate, creating surreal and otherworldly effects. In the case of "A Ghost," the double exposure was used to create a convincing illusion of a ghostly presence. The image is a captivating reminder of the enduring fascination with the supernatural and the paranormal that has persisted throughout history. It is a testament to the power of photography to capture the imagination and inspire wonder, even in the most skeptical of minds. The photograph measures 439 x 330mm and is a rare and intriguing addition to any collection of historical photographs or paranormal memorabilia. It is a reminder of the rich history of photographic experimentation and the enduring allure of the unknown.
