EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph from the 19th century, we find three prominent figures of Scotland's spiritualist movement: David Duguid (centre), James Bowman (left), and H. Nisbet (right). David Duguid, a Scottish medium, is best known for his groundbreaking work in the realm of automatic and direct drawings. His ability to produce art without conscious control, some believed, was a manifestation of spiritual forces. James Bowman, the man on the left, was a skilled photographer who captured this memorable moment. His expertise in capturing images would have been invaluable in documenting the spiritualist movement and preserving its history. On the right, we have H. Nisbet, a publisher. Nisbet played a crucial role in disseminating information about spiritualism and the work of mediums like Duguid to a wider audience. He likely published books, pamphlets, or periodicals on the subject, making it accessible to those interested in the paranormal and the spiritual. The trio's gathering in Glasgow, possibly for a seance or a public demonstration, is a testament to the vibrant spiritualist community that thrived in Scotland during this era. The Victorian age, with its fascination for the unknown and the supernatural, provided a fertile ground for the exploration of spiritualism and its practices. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these individuals and the world they inhabited.
