EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures a pivotal moment during Harry Price's investigations into the mediumistic abilities of the Austrian brothers Rudi and Willi Schneider at the National Laboratory of Psychical Research on March 3, 1932. The image documents a séance during which an apparently rising handkerchief was recorded through automatic photography. Price, a renowned parapsychologist, was a leading figure in the study of spiritualism and psychical research during the early 20th century. He dedicated significant time and resources to examining the Schneider brothers' mediumistic abilities, documenting their séances through various methods, including automatic photography. The annotated photograph, HPG/1/6/2 (xiv), is part of a series of images that provide a historical record of Price's investigations. In this particular séance, the brothers are seen seated around a table with several sitters, all focused intently on the table's center. The handkerchief, which appears to be suspended in mid-air, is the subject of their collective attention. The photograph's annotations provide additional context to the event, noting that it was taken during a test at the National Laboratory of Psychical Research. The image has since become a subject of debate within the parapsychological community, with some suggesting that the handkerchief may have been manipulated or faked. However, the photograph remains an important piece of historical evidence in the study of mediumship and spiritualism. Despite ongoing controversy surrounding the authenticity of the Schneider brothers' mediumistic abilities, this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of psychical research during the early 20th century. It serves as a reminder of the enduring fascination with the unknown and the human desire to explore the limits of the physical world.
