A black-and-white glass slide showing a fashionably dressed man sitting sideways on a chair, elbow resting over the side, with a spirit hovering at his left.
This is a typical example of the photographer placing his subject to one side of the frame so that a spirit can be comfortably superimposed in the composition.
It's difficult to accept now that people believed these images to be genuine.
