EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph, a sketch of a slate showcases a message allegedly penned by the spirits during a séance led by the renowned spiritualist, Dr. Henry Slade. The image captures a glimpse into the mysterious world of spirit communication, a practice that first gained prominence in America before Dr. Slade brought it across the Atlantic to England. Dr. Slade, who resided in Russell Square, London, began giving séances from his lodgings, generating widespread buzz and attracting the attention of two esteemed professionals, Mr. Lankester and Dr. Donkin. Word of his extraordinary talents quickly spread, importing a sense of excitement and intrigue into the cultural landscape of the late 19th century. During two séances, Mr. Lankester seized the slate and discovered that the message had already been written on it before it was removed from the table. This revelation cast doubt upon Dr. Slade's authenticity and ultimately led to his trial at Bow Street Court in October 1876. The trial marked a significant moment in the history of spiritualism, as it raised important questions about the legitimacy of this burgeoning spiritual practice and the motives of those who claimed to communicate with the deceased. Despite the controversy surrounding his methods, Dr. Slade's spirit communication trials continue to fascinate scholars and historians, offering a unique window into the beliefs and cultural preoccupations of the Victorian era. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring allure of the unknown and the human desire to connect with the world beyond.
