Caption
Spirit unmasked at a London séance. Top: Forming circle by joining hands. Centre: Medium's assistant being placed behind curtain (left). Spirit manifestations (right). Bottom: A very substantial 'spirit' apprehended while trying to slip away. There were a number of fake mediums in London at this time, taking advantage of the fashion for spiritualism and of the gullibility of those wishing to make contact with those 'on the other side'. From The Graphic.
