IMODA, Enrico (1871-1910) - Fotografie di fantasmi. Turin: Fratelli Bocca, 1912.

First and only edition of this curious work of "spirit photography" which portrays the spiritual manifestations of the medium Linda Gazzera at the home of the Marquise de Ruspoli. It should be noted that these events are nothing more than simulacra in printed cardboard and fabric which, as reported by sources of the time, Gazzera hid under the wig and between the folds of the dress and then extracted them at the right moment.

Photographic portrait of the author as frontespiece, 47 original photographs applied in text, one photographic reproduction and a "coupon" to be redeemed after one year of publication for 0.50 lire in order to receive an additional photo.
