When questioned by us, Barbosa Rodrigues, how much effort is made, failed to recognize the head, a fact that even today the intrigue.

It is also seen in this photo, as if coming out of the hands or mouth of the Medium, a white band that, through the larger grid to a smaller one, where were the buckets falls on them. Within the latter grid, much preached, were the buckets in which the Spirit plunged his hand to make molds in paraffin. It is noted, at one end of the full white fluid, like a cast of hand.

Weird is the photograph of No. 30. It is seen between Mrs. Fisher and Mrs. Leopoldina Antonina, who is a Medium psychographics, a figure with his face covered. In photographs published in numerous works congeners have observed similar cases. See, for example, the recent work of Madame Lacombe and Madame Bisson.

We do not know what to attribute this fact for Spirits to hide the face - unless, not always allowing the environment to materialize so perfect as to afford the rearrangement of facial features in all its details, they prefer to present them blindfolded.

Note, for example, in these photographs taken from Madame Lacombe (prints 30-A and 31)

Still deserve a photograph of the Spirit "John", reproduced in the picture No. 41. You kind of shrouded in visibly crumpled sheet and wearing white canvas shoes. It would also be a case of transport, whose restoration of such parts only use was as lucky to impress the plate and not the retina of the experimenter?  It was 9 o'clock in the morning.

In the Medium, nothing was seen before that objective. Unveiled the plaque, accused the clothing and shoes. It is bewildering?

TOP OF PHOTOGRAPHY SPIRITIST FULL DAY

It tells me so Maestro Bosio discovery of daylight photography of spirits without the aid of magnesium:

"My friend Prado was absent, had gone to Santa Isabel, a town 2 hours away from the capital.

Speaking to me about Mrs. Prado more sensitive psychic, told me that when away from loved ones, as his mother, children, spouse, etc.. I felt profound sadness and a strange feeling, a kind of abandonment and a general weakening causing a state that it did not set well. On these occasions, he said, I see my own double.

Eureka!  I said, we photograph in broad daylight!

How?

Allow me, madam, I put an emphasis, the camera toward the chair in which he is currently sitting, which will be kept in the same place together with a camera. Any moment in that you feel to fall in trance, is going to sit down in him and trusted in God. Nothing will happen him of bigger. It stayed like this combined. I instructed to Ms. Antonina (daughter of the medium), asking him that, given the moment I need, opened the cover of the objective one, counting 5 regular times. The moment was not done to expect, impressing a plate, to which, revealed immediately, accused the photograph fluid to medium, of much bigger size than the native, stayed barely in the seat few fluid and seeing, always in this, the form tenuíssima of the breaks lower of the body of the Ms. Meadow! Marvelous! Amazing even! (Engraving 35)

We renew the experience a few days later. Were present on this occasion Dr. John Correa (brother of the Medium) and also the Srtas. Alice and Antonina (his daughters), and your friend Bosio, as amateur photographers. Here is the magnificent result (Plate 36)  

Mr. Prado decided another trip and this time for longer, going with his son to the Rio Erato enabled me, by far gentiliza, and given the bonds of mutual extima between our families, to observe all spiritualistic phenomena produced by the effect of channeling his wife, the less the materialization.

That's when I get a beautiful series of plates that are in the "The Work of the Dead" (Prints 37 to 44)

But ask that question is that?  They were not there and yet impressed the plate. Where did they come from?

THE SENSATIONAL SPIRITUALISTIC PHENOMENATwo hours and 40 minutes materialized! - Parents that review the

daughter passed away - Many Spirits materialized in the same session - what said us the Mr. Fred Figner

In one of the times in that came to public, by the press, the Mr. Fred Fígner, leader of home Edison, of the Rio de Janeiro, affirmed to have seen his daughter (Engraving 45), passed away there are many months, completely materialized, by virtue of the spiritualism of the Ms. Euripedes Meadow, in this Capital.

Plate 45

After this statement, and, you ally, before of her, began to circular in the diverse city narratives of the sensational events. It resolve us, therefore, obtain of the Mr. Fred Fígner, lodged in the Big Hotel, an interview, in the which we could inform our readers, with absolute security, what truthfully there was in those narratives. It drive us, like this, to that hotel, where I was received cavalheirosamente by the Mr. Fígner. It formulated our desire, S. Cathedral. spoke: - It Desires you that relates him the phenomena by me witnessed and produced with the privileged spiritualism of the Ms. Euripedes Meadow? Therefore not, Mr. Writer, with a lot please. It is going to give him some details that witnessed, I and my family, in three sessions riquíssimas of phenomena. Comearei by him say that here I came, not by seen, my curiosity that knew to be the materialization a fact comprovadopor Crookes, in the first place, in Lodres, since the year of 1871, when began, then, to today famous materialization of Katie King, serving of medium to Ms. Florence Cook, and, often, identical experiences related by so much other scientific authorities. I came with the unique target of diminish the sorrow ea pain that humiliated my wife, by have desencarnado an a lot our daughter loved.

Here arriving, I had the disillusion of do not find the family Meadow. It received by my confrades, prepared itself they it telegraph to the Mr. Meadow, participating him my arrival with the family, and asked, if fosse possible, came up to here. Despite ill his wife, resolved he agree to the appeal, here arriving in the "Parents of Oak", in the day 28 of April depoisde an arduous one viagemn of 7 days. In the day 1st of May, did itself a preliminary session, to that were presents, beyond the family Meadow, the family Manoel Tavares, the family Bosio eo Dr. Forest Bacelar. Materialized Joao and a Spirit denomindao Evangelist. There was enough light and they distinguished itself the Spirits perfect, as itself fossem men with white garments that walked of a side for another. Delayed Joao enough time with us, so that well we could see him and feel. My wife, driving itself to Joao, counted him his suffering, what aware he heard. It received of my lady some flowers that she lead, the which Joao passed for the left hand. Right away Joao extended the hand right to my lady, doing she the even; Joao passed her hand about the of her, doing feel him that was perfect materialized. Finally, Joao, shaking a scarf in sign of farewell, entered in the chamber, began desmaterializar-itself to our sights, as the fizera when materialized. Then to little, we hear some small blows that he led to the face of the medium for the awake. This first session left me completely cold, seen that I turns so only that that expected. Everything that was very natural thing for me, as much as sua reality. My wife, however, despite of also know, of reading, the phenomena, stayed very satisfied, beginning it nourish hopes of see our daughter, girl of 21 years, desencarnada in 30 of March of 1920.

To second session, carried out to 2 of May, was, really, a lot more important. There were in that occasion persons that did not they know the phenomena, as well like the Spiritualistic Doctrine, between them the Dr. Remígio Fernendez, the Mr. Barbosa ea Ms. Pernanbuco. Many Spirits of diverse statures materialized, between them to our face daughter Racuel. But, due perhaps to the excessive number of materializations, that absorbed many fluid, and between the Spirits materialized one of name Diana that, I believe, if presented with a diamond of tiara in the head, the materialization of our one Rachel was not so perfect as much as we expected; however, was enough for to be recognized by everybody we. In that session, she asked, to her mother, "because that seen, black clothing that she felt very happy". In the day 4 of May we did another one session, and in this the materialization of our daughter was to more perfect possible. Rachel presented itself with so much perfection, with so much grace and so she same, with the mesmos gestures and ways, that could not contain our emotion and everybody, crying, of knees, we yield graces to God, by size begs. It was Rachel alive, ready for go to a party. To his head raised, the his round arms, the its smile habitual, the its pretty hands and up to position of these, all its exactly as was in the Land. It spoke to the mother, asking him exactly that in the near session came all of blank as desired and there was materialized.

Rachel touched everybody we with their hand; we feel everybody the their natural heat and, to the observation of my wife: "Rachelzinha, you had yourself the so pretty hair, sample us your hair", she entered in the cabinet and, come back instants afterwards, itself came twice, showing us your wavy and long hair. Accepting the flowers that we offer him, did his mother sit down in a seat next to the cabinet and of back for this. It embraced it and kissed it a lot lovingly, afterwards put him a rose in the white blouse, that my wife dress for be pleasant to the daughter, that in the day before do not like to see her of black. In the occasion in that put him the rose, spoke him of his own lips, saying him: "Do not I want that walk of black, heard? I want that come all of blank, as well as I am." All that my phrase daughter it pronounced so clear and distinctly that everybody, beyond my wife, it we hear. Afterwards, sitting down me I in the same seat by his order, caressed me as fizera to the its mother, put an angelical one in the lapel of my jacket, supporting itself with all the weight of its body about the my shoulders. Finally, shaking a scarf in sign of farewell, entered in the cabinet and disappeared. I hauled the clock, Rachel had been there 40 minutes. Afterwards left the Joao and sung, a lot satisfied with the materialization of its disciple. To 6 of May we did to last session.

The result was the even of the previous one, with addition of Rachel do faced with we a glove in paraffin, of his left hand, consulting many times Joao, that was found in the cabinet, however to the our sight, during all the time in that she worked with the paraffin. Soon to the it materialize, Rachel, jumping and clapping, showed his satisfaction by see its mother all of blank; and, upon saying good-bye, asked him that led its sister Leontina to the parties and to the Theater, as did with her. Rachel was with us, in that occasion, during two hours. Finally, I asked to Rachel that permitted kiss myself him the hand. The even they asked was deed by my wife and more two there present daughters, beyond some 10 persons. She gave the hand it kiss her mother and to the smaller one of the her sisters; and, approximate itself of me, in a quick gesture, all her, caught my hand with enough force and kissed it. And, shaking a scarf in sign of farewell, entered in the cabinet. Do not we feel his party, therefore we are correctly of that will not be this to last time that it we will see. Rachel lives! Of this was correctly before of here come and I continue with the same certainty. I have however of confess that these two hours and 40 minutes were for everybody we the happiest time of our existence. And permit-me that, by his interlude, a time more thank to the Mr. and Ms. Meadow the sacrifice that did of come here, and to the master one Bosio and lady the kindnesses of that accumulated us, as well as to all of the confrades and friends the welcome that did us. I thank also to the "Sheet of the North" by the transfer of its columns. That God pay him!
