EDITORS COMMENTS
This undated double photograph captures a bird's-eye view of the counterpoise table during a séance led by the mediums Rudi and Willi Schneider, as investigated by renowned paranormal researcher Harry Price. The image is part of a series of photographs documenting Price's investigations into the mediumistic abilities of the Schneider brothers, who were known for their alleged ability to levitate and manipulate objects on the table under controlled conditions. The counterpoise table, a common piece of equipment used in spiritualist séances, is depicted in the photograph with various objects placed on its surface. The table appears to be suspended in mid-air, supported only by the feet of the sitters, who are out of view in this image. The table is surrounded by a dimly lit room, with a single bright light illuminating the scene from above. The photograph is a stereoscopic image, which creates a three-dimensional effect when viewed through a stereoscope. This technique was commonly used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to enhance the perception of depth and detail in photographs. Price's investigations into the Schneider brothers' mediumistic abilities were conducted under strict conditions to ensure that any phenomena observed were genuine and not the result of trickery or deception. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its documentation of one of the most famous and controversial cases in the history of paranormal investigation. The photograph is held in the Harry Price archive at the HP Grime Oldham Collection, a leading resource for the study of spiritualism and paranormal phenomena. This image provides a unique glimpse into the world of spiritualist séances and the investigative methods used by Harry Price and other paranormal researchers of the past.
