Hours with the ghosts, or, Nineteenth century witchcraft : illustrated investigations into the phenomena of spiritualism and theosophy
Hours with the Ghosts is a late nineteenth-century exposé of spiritualism and theosophy by Henry Ridgely Evans, published in Chicago by Laird & Lee in 1897 for general readers curious about psychic fraud. Its pictures are coarse black-and-white line engravings and halftone photographs, including a sketched woman in a feathered hat, a close-up of scratched marks, a table-and-chair apparatus, and a photographed slate covered in handwriting, offering a designer hatching textures, crosshatched shading, and period portrait styling.
