      [BUGUET, Edouard (1840 – 90)]. Spirit Photograph. Paris, ca. 1875. Full-length albumen portrait of a man in checkered pants with a ghostly form floating beside him. Contemporary retouching to the sitter’s whisker and hair. Inked gift inscription and caption to verso (partially trimmed away) presenting the image to the “British National Association of Spiritualists by Mr. J. N. Tiedman Martheze.” Boudoir card format on plain mount, image 9 ¾ x 7 ¼”. Tiny chip in lower right, general wear to mount. A RARE large-format spirit photograph. A police sting revealed Buguet’s spirit photographs to be fraudulent, and he spent a year in jail for the crime. Houdini exposed some of Buguet’s tricks in A Magician Among the Spirits (1924).
