Mystrious psychic forces; an account of the author's invesigations in psychical research, together with those of other European savants

Flammarion, Camille, 1842-1925 · 1907 · Boston : Small, Maynard and company · 29 pictures

Camille Flammarion's 1907 Boston study of psychical research, published by Small, Maynard and company, recounts his investigations and those of other European scientists into spiritualist phenomena for a general readership. Its pictures are mostly plain line diagrams of apparatus and a grainy photograph of seated sitters around a small table, with hand-drawn devices and a table-levitation setup. A designer might take from them the spare, technical look of early twentieth-century scientific diagrams and the staged quality of period photographs.
