This is the title page of *Revelations of a Spirit Medium; or, Spiritualistic Mysteries Exposed*, published in 1891. The book belongs to a long run of exposés in which writers claimed to reveal how supposed communications with the dead were staged, using hidden accomplices, trick cabinets, and sleight of hand. Spiritualism had drawn large followings in Britain and America since the 1840s, and such exposés spoke to public doubts about séances and paid mediums. The title page itself, with its promise to unmask hidden methods, shows how the book pitched itself to readers curious about fraud and the supernatural.
