True History Of The Ghost; And All About Metempsychosis

True History of The Ghost; And All About Metempsychosis

by John Henry Pepper

This book explores the history and development of the illusionary technique known as "Pepper's Ghost." This technique uses a sheet of glass and clever lighting to project an actor onto a stage, creating the appearance of a ghostly apparition. The book delves into the technical aspects of the illusion, as well as its reception by the public and its impact on the world of theater.
