| Technical advances between 1870 and 1930 brought an array of fads, among them the art of capturing ghostly apparitions in photographs. In a world ravaged by war, the chance to contact lost loved ones was readily embraced, and celebrity spirit photographers were both revered as miracle workers and reviled as frauds, exploiting the bereaved. Drawing on collections in The British Library and other archives, this book examines the evolution and popularity of spirit photography and reproduces works by its leading exponents. | ||||
