Search William Hope. He was one of the premiere spirit photographers of the early Twentieth Century and was considered by believers and supporters to be a true master of the art of producing spirits on ordinary photographic plates. To others, he was a clever trickster and while he had more than his share of detractors, he was often accused of fraud but was never caught at it -- thanks to the controversy that surrounded the main attempt to expose him.

Is that a backwards date inscribed on the negative? 1911

Both men were freshman Senators, having begun their first terms in the U. S. Senate in 1911 -- that may be the reason for the photo.
