Mary Jane, or, spiritualism chemically explained, with spirit drawings / also essays by, and ideas (perhaps erroneous) of "a child at school."
Mary Jane, or Spiritualism Chemically Explained is an 1863 London book printed by J. King & Co., attributed to Samuel Guppy and held by the Countway Library of Medicine, presenting spiritualism through spirit drawings, essays, and ideas from a schoolchild. The pictures are soft multicolour lithographic-style flower studies of chrysanthemums and blooms in pink, red, mauve, and pale blue with green stems on cream paper, showing how layered petals and tinted overprinting can build natural forms a designer could borrow for botanical patterns.
