EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph, Rudi Schneider is seen deftly evading the attempts of renowned psychic investigator Harry Price to maintain control during a séance. The image is part of a series documenting Price's investigations into the mediumistic abilities of the Schneider brothers, Rudi and Willi, in the early 20th century. Price, known for his skepticism towards spiritualism and his commitment to exposing fraudulent mediums, is seen in the background, reaching out towards Rudi with a covered lamp. The use of a lamp was a common technique employed by mediums during séances to produce ectoplasm, a supposedly supernatural substance believed to manifest from the medium's body. Price, however, suspected that such manifestations were the result of trickery rather than genuine spiritual phenomena. Rudi, on the other hand, is shown in the foreground, skillfully maneuvering away from Price's grasp. His expression suggests a mixture of determination and amusement, as if he relishes the challenge of outwitting the skeptical investigator. The photograph, taken in the dimly lit séance room, captures the tense atmosphere of the investigation, with the lamp's faint light casting eerie shadows on the walls. This historical photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of spiritualism and the investigative methods used by Harry Price to uncover potential fraud. The image, with its intriguing composition and rich historical context, is a valuable addition to any collection of material related to the history of spiritualism and paranormal investigations. The photograph is part of the Harry Price Collection held by the National Archives, and is catalogued as HPG/1/6/2 (xvi). The image is not to be used for commercial purposes and is available for research and educational use only.
