EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the moment during a séance in the late 1870s when Henry Slade, a renowned spiritualist medium from Philadelphia, held up a slate bearing the faintly written messages received from the spirit world. Slade was known for his unique method of producing these messages, which involved placing his hands on the slate and allowing it to be guided by the spirits to form the letters. The slate, with its rough, gray surface, adds an air of mystery and authenticity to the proceedings. Henry Slade was a prominent figure in the paranormal world of the late 19th century, and his mediumship abilities drew large crowds to his séances. The photograph offers a glimpse into the historical context of spiritualism during this time, when people were seeking answers and connection beyond the physical world. The use of objects like the slate was a common practice among mediums, and it was believed that the spirits could manipulate the slate to communicate messages to those in attendance. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the cultural fascination with the unknown and the supernatural during this period. Spiritualism offered a sense of comfort and closure to those who had lost loved ones, and the belief in an afterlife and communication with the deceased was a source of solace for many.
