Fotoreproductie van een tekening, voorstellende een imaginair portret van de spirituele gids Tien-Sien-Tie before 1877

This photoreproduction of a drawing, created before 1877, depicts an imagined portrait of the spiritual guide Tien-Sien-Tie. The image, likely intended for a book or publication, shows Tien-Sien-Tie in a formal, possibly ceremonial, pose, wearing a crown-like headdress and ornate clothing. The artist, though anonymous, captures a sense of dignity and spirituality in the figure, reflecting the importance of Tien-Sien-Tie in spiritualist circles. The image's small size and the text surrounding it suggest it served to illustrate a specific text, potentially a biography or a narrative about Tien-Sien-Tie.
