Henry Robin and spectrum.
Author: Eugène Thiébault.
Paris, 1863. Collection
Gérard Lévy, Paris.
William H. Mumler is considered a pioneer in portraying fantasmas.Pero spirits and obviously was not alone.
One of the most representative photographs of the genre corresponds to that made by Eugène Thiébault (born in France in 1825) and before you today.
This is a promotional photo illusionist Robin Henry, a French artist who acted in a theater in the mid-century Parisian XIX and achieved some popularity in the época.Este illusionist, curiously, did not participate in the current spiritualist. Even openly admitted using double-sided mirrors to make the spirits appear on stage as if by ghostly magic for his exploits. Thiébault
this publicity photograph made by double exposure of the negative and a perfect fit. In print, Robin shows frightened by the appalling cold ghostly apparition skeletal face. Besides an hourglass appears empty at the top symbolizing the end of the life of illusionist.
But there were other ways to produce fake pictures of ghosts than the double exposiciones.Una of these techniques was the time when long exposures were necessary. An assistant came out from behind a curtain and hid again, all this in the middle of a long-exposure photography a quiet person, the result was a clear spirit to one side of a solid body.
