EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment during an automatic photograph experiment conducted by renowned psychical researcher Harry Price at the National Laboratory of Psychical Research on 8 March 1932. In the image, Professor David Fraser-Harris and Harry Price are seen controlling Rudi Schneider, an Austrian medium, as he sits amongst a group of sitters. Rudi, wearing a white shirt and tie, is seen breaking free of their control with his arm stretched behind him. The Schneider brothers, Rudi and Willi, were known for their mediumistic abilities, which included materializations and levitations. Price, a skeptical investigator, was determined to uncover any potential trickery or fraud behind their supposed spiritualist phenomena. This photograph is one of a series documenting Price's investigations into the Schneiders' abilities. The National Laboratory of Psychical Research was a leading institution for the scientific study of psychic phenomena during the early 20th century. Price, a professor of physics, was a prominent figure in the field and was known for his rigorous and skeptical approach to investigating the paranormal. Despite the efforts of Price and Fraser-Harris to control Rudi's movements, he appears to be breaking free in this photograph. The image raises questions about the authenticity of the Schneiders' mediumistic abilities and the possibility of trickery or fraud. The history of psychical research is filled with debates and controversies surrounding such phenomena, and this photograph is a fascinating snapshot of one such investigation.
