EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Harry Price's Occult Book Plate: A Glimpse into the Magician's Literary Realm" This evocative book plate, bearing the image of "Abomination des Sorciers," or "The Abomination of Sorcerers," is a captivating artifact from the personal library of the renowned magician, paranormal investigator, and historian, Harry Price (1881-1948). The plate, cataloged as HPG/8/61 in the Harry Price Library of Magical Literature, showcases Price's deep connection to the world of the occult and the supernatural. The intricately designed plate, which adorns the flyleaves of several books in Price's extensive collection, features an illustration of a monstrous figure, a grotesque amalgamation of human and animal forms, with a menacing expression and outstretched claws. The image is surrounded by a border of intricate symbols, reminiscent of ancient alchemical or magical diagrams. Price, an influential figure in the history of the paranormal, was known for his groundbreaking investigations into spiritualism, psychical research, and the occult. He was a prolific writer and collector, amassing a vast library of books on these subjects. The presence of this book plate in his collection underscores his deep engagement with the esoteric and the supernatural. The "Abomination des Sorciers" image, with its unsettling and mysterious allure, would have served as a striking reminder of the otherworldly themes that permeated Price's literary pursuits. The small, actually used version of the plate, now a precious relic, offers a tantalizing glimpse into the rich and complex world of this remarkable man and his enduring legacy in the annals of paranormal history.
