[SPIRIT PHOTOGRAPHY]. Séance with Woman in Spirit Costume. [Lowville, NY: E. M. Van Aken, Photographer, ca. 1870s-1880s]. CDV on photographer’s mount. Photo approximately 3 ½ x 2 ¼”. Mount approximately 4 x 2 ½”. Some mild rubbing. Excellent. This appears to be an attempt at Spirit Photography, without using photographic techniques - just having a woman in a spirit costume. Unusual. From the Mark Rucker Collection.
