The true history of the ghost : and all about metempsychosis
John Henry Pepper's account of the stage ghost illusion he popularised and of metempsychosis, issued by Cassell in 1890 for general readers curious about optics and theatre trickery. Plates mix geometric ray-path diagrams lettered A through Z with sectional elevations of stages, mirrors and seating, alongside a wood-engraved royal arms and the La Belle Sauvage roundel of an archer.
