Chronicles Of The Photographs Of Spiritual Beings

Step into the extraordinary world of Victorian spiritualism with this rare and fascinating work by Georgiana Houghton (1814–1884), a pioneering medium and artist whose visionary paintings and writings sought to reveal the unseen.

Originally published in the late 19th century, Chronicles of the Photographs of Spiritual Beings documents Houghton’s remarkable attempts to capture the presence of spirits through the lens of early photography. Blending theology, mysticism, and experimental science, the book records séances, spectral apparitions, and the belief that photography could serve as a window to the other side.

Houghton’s work stands at the intersection of art, faith, and spiritualist practice, offering a unique testimony to the Victorian fascination with the invisible. Today, her chronicles are celebrated both as a cultural artifact of the Spiritualist movement and as a groundbreaking contribution to the history of women in art and mysticism.
