The study of trance, muscle-reading and allied phenomena in Europe and America : With a letter of the moral character of trance subjects, and a defence of Dr. Charcot
A late nineteenth-century American study of trance, hypnotism and telepathy by the physician George Miller Beard, published in New York in 1882 and addressed to a medical and scientific readership. The pictures are plain line engravings of men in suits posed in demonstrations, with hatching that gives the wool cloth texture, and a designer might take their clean, period tailoring and cross-hatched shading as a reference for historical menswear illustration.
