Past and present with Mrs. Piper
Past and present with Mrs. Piper is a 1922 book published in New York by H. Holt and company, written by Anne Manning Robbins about the medium Leonora Piper and the spiritualism associated with her. The pictures are halftone studio portraits of people, mostly sitters shown in oval or rectangular frames, with soft grey tones and plain backgrounds; a designer could draw on their early twentieth-century formal portrait style, with dark suits, high-necked blouses, and Edwardian hairstyles.
