About the book

"From the collections of The British Library and other major archives in Britain and America, Faces of the Living Dead includes work by the leading spirit photographers from the 1870s to the 1930s, including William Crookes, Ada Deane, William Mumler and Edward Wyllie, and examines the evolution and popularity of spirit photography. Although subsequently proved to be fakes, spirit photographs remain as compelling historical evidence for technology's power to serve as a means to cope with the inexplicable and undesirable experiences of modernity."--BOOK JACKET.
