EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures a pivotal moment during a table turning séance led by the renowned Swiss spiritualist, Agenor de Gasparin, in 1853. Table turning, also known as planchette writing or spirit rapping, was a popular form of spiritualist mediumship during the 19th century. In this practice, a table, often with legs bound together, would supposedly move and communicate messages from the spirit world through raps or movements. Agenor de Gasparin (1811-1891) was a prominent figure in the European spiritualist movement, known for his extensive knowledge of various occult practices. In this séance, held in Switzerland, a group of individuals, including the medium himself, are gathered around the table, their faces filled with intense concentration. The table, draped in a white cloth, appears to be in motion, its legs lifted slightly off the ground. The hands of those present are poised above the table, ready to record the messages that are believed to be coming from the spirit world. The atmosphere in the room is heavy with anticipation and wonder. The participants, dressed in Victorian attire, are fully immersed in the experience, their eyes focused on the table as they await the next message from the other side. The dimly lit room, with its ornate decorations and candles, adds to the mystical ambiance. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the world of spiritualism during the 19th century, a time when the boundaries between the physical and spiritual realms were believed to be more fluid. It serves as a reminder of the fascination and curiosity that surrounded spiritual practices during this period, and the role that mediums like Agenor de Gasparin played in shaping the cultural landscape of Europe.
