Harvard Art Museums' own collection record for "Photograph of the Materialized Spirit, 'Katie King.' [with Dr. James Manby Gully]," an albumen silver print on card, dated 1874 to 1875. Object number 2010.56. The museum's own record carries the title, date and medium; the sitting's narrative context is corroborated here by two independent secondary accounts consistent with each other and with the object itself.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
The holding museum's own collection record for the accessioned photograph, whose own title names Katie King as the materialized spirit photographed; corroborated by two independent secondary accounts of the same 1874 to 1875 Crookes seances since the museum page carries no further descriptive text.
