EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing pencil sketch captures the enigmatic figure of a phantom Egyptian, as drawn by the renowned Austrian medium Maria Silbert during a materialisation session that took place around 1930. The image, catalogued as HPG/1/7/20 (viii) in the Historical Photographs of Greece collection, offers a glimpse into the mysterious world of paranormal phenomena and spiritualism that captivated the public imagination during the early 20th century. Maria Silbert, a respected medium known for her automatic and physical mediumship abilities, was believed to have the power to summon the spirits of the deceased. During one of her séances, held at a séance room or 'sance' as it was commonly referred to, the figure of an ancient Egyptian phantom is said to have materialised before her. Silbert, in a trance-like state, skillfully captured the image of the phantom on paper using only a pencil. The sketch depicts a regal and imposing figure, dressed in traditional Egyptian attire, with a serene expression on its face. The intricate details of the headdress, the folds of the clothing, and the hieroglyphs adorning the phantom's body all suggest an authentic representation of ancient Egyptian culture. The sketch, with its historical and artistic significance, offers a fascinating insight into the spiritual beliefs and practices of the time. Despite the controversy and skepticism surrounding spiritualism and mediumship, the image of the phantom Egyptian continues to intrigue and captivate audiences, offering a tantalising glimpse into the unknown and the mysteries of the past. This pencil sketch serves as a reminder of the enduring fascination with the paranormal and the spiritual world, and the role that mediums like Maria Silbert played in shaping our understanding of the unknown.
