It’s 1893 in York, a city most haunted. Notorious Victorian ghost hunter, Professor Matthias Jeremiah Braithwaite, has gone missing. His diary, documenting his exploration of the city in search of paranormal activity, has been discovered. Could this explain the mystery of his disappearance?
The image is available in five formats:
Monochrome - a black & white print in a black mount
Colour - a colour print in a black mount
Monochrome Limited Edition - a larger mounted print which has been hand signed by the artist and numbered from an edition of 1893 - the year of the Professor's disappearance.
Enchanted Edition - a larger mounted print where the ghostly images glow under black light
Enchanted Limited Edition - a larger mounted print where the ghosts and many other background details illuminate under black light. The mount is hand signed by the artist and numbered from an edition of 1893 - the year of the Professor's disappearance
The UV details are hand painted onto the print - each image will be slightly different. A black light torch/ lamp is required to view the ghostly glow - a regular torch will not work.
Editions 10 - 59 are available at a special Introductory Price.
In his diary, the Professor recorded the discovery of the ghostly glow with his magic lamp. The diary entry, printed on parchment effect paper, is included with each artwork.
"What Devilry is this? My sketches and impressions of these unworldly beings have been enchanted by some form of witchcraft. It seems a ghoulish hand has been at work mimicking my own and changing the very nature of my picture. Viewed using a strange light purchased on my adventures in the Far East, an unnatural glow emanates from the very soul of the spirit I have drawn. It is my belief that this light will let me see into this world of spirits beyond our own - it will require much further study and experimentation.”
