EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'Psychic Lady with Spirit' is an intriguing glimpse into the world of spiritualism during the late 19th century. The photograph, taken by renowned British photographer Andrew Glendinning for Whittaker in 1894, depicts a psychic medium in the midst of a seance, with an elderly gentleman spirit appearing beside her. The ethereal spirit is rendered in soft, ghostly tones, contrasting sharply with the sharp focus on the psychic lady's face and the intricate details of her Victorian attire. Spiritualism, a popular belief system that emerged during the 1850s, held that the dead could communicate with the living through mediums. Seances, such as the one depicted in this photograph, were a common way for people to connect with their deceased loved ones or seek guidance from spirits. The veil between the physical and spiritual worlds was believed to be thin, and many people were drawn to the promise of communication with the other side. This photograph, with its haunting image of a spirit materializing before the psychic lady, would have been a powerful reminder of the belief in an afterlife and the possibility of contact with the deceased. Despite the advancements of science and skepticism towards spiritualism, the belief in the existence of spirits and the afterlife continued to persist. This photograph, with its spooky, scary, and creepy atmosphere, remains a fascinating window into a time when the supernatural was a very real and tangible part of everyday life.
