1921 Double Exposure Evan Evans Face Ghost Hoax Miss Occult Photography Spirit Trick Bulford Staveley
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph from 1921, titled "SPIRIT PHOTOGRAPH" we are transported back to the early days of photography when trickery and the occult fascinated people. Miss Evans stands before us, her face illuminated by a sepia-toned glow as she appears to be accompanied by a spirit emanation. Captured by English photographer Staveley Bulford, this image raises questions about the supernatural and the possibility of communicating with spirits through photography. Was it a clever hoax or an actual glimpse into another realm? The double exposure technique used in early photography adds an air of mystery to the composition. As we gaze at Miss Evans and her ethereal companion, we can't help but wonder about their story. Who was she? What connection did she have with the spirit world? And what motivated Bulford to capture this moment on film? Regardless of whether one believes in ghosts or not, there is no denying that this photograph holds a certain allure. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with the unknown and our desire to explore realms beyond our own. The Granger Collection has preserved this piece of history for us to ponder upon—a testament to both the artistry and curiosity that defined early photography.
