Twee mannen aan een tafel worden bezocht door een spook 1856 - 1859

This stereoscopic card, created between 1856 and 1859 by an anonymous artist, depicts a performance of the popular Victorian era entertainment known as “The Ghost Show.” The image shows a group of people gathered around a stage, where a man lies on the ground while another man, dressed as a spirit, seemingly levitates above him. It would have been viewed through a stereoscope, creating a three-dimensional effect for the viewer, enhancing the illusion. The show was meant to entertain and amaze audiences, utilizing tricks and special effects to create a convincing ghostly spectacle.
