EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Esson Maude, a prominent figure in the investigation of the Scottish medium Helen Duncan, recreating her seating position during a séance held at the Edinburgh venue where the famous exposé took place in January 1933. The image is part of a series documenting Harry Price's investigations into the mediumship of Helen Duncan and Esson Maude. Price, a renowned psychical researcher, was determined to uncover the truth behind Duncan's alleged supernatural abilities. In this photograph, Maude, who was also involved in the exposé, sits in an armchair in front of a sideboard, as she did during the actual séance. The room, with its dim lighting and ornate decor, adds to the atmospheric setting. The back of the print features explanatory notes from Esson Maude herself, providing insight into the events that transpired during the séance. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its connection to the controversial case of Helen Duncan, who was the last person in the UK to be prosecuted for holding a séance and pretending to be a medium. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the world of paranormal investigations during the early 20th century, providing a fascinating look at the methods used to uncover the truth behind alleged supernatural phenomena. This image is an essential addition to any collection focused on the history of spiritualism, psychical research, or the paranormal.
