Summary

Description

[Two tables illustrated in Professor Zöllner's experiments.] Descriptive title; the woodcut has no separately printed caption. A small round pedestal table stands beside a larger table with curved legs; a hand rests at the right, and a loop hangs below the tabletop. The table profiles, pedestal rings, legs, hand, loop and ground hatching match H. P. Blavatsky's Scrapbooks, volume 8, page 33, item 1. The complete figure is retained.

From Professor Zöllner's Experiments With Dr. Slade, The Spiritualist, whole no. 318, volume XIII, no. 13, Friday, 27 September 1878, printed p. 150 (London). The opening masthead directly prints the issue number, volume and date; the source page prints folio 150 and the same date. In the 16-page PDF this is page 8. A footnote calls the woodcut an exact copy in the context of a plate photographed from life; this file is the printed woodcut, not the original photograph. Individual artist and engraver identities, first appearance and the physical source copy used for the scrapbook cutting remain unestablished.

File and processing

PNG, 1216 × 683 pixels, grayscale. Source PDF: 3067032 bytes, SHA-256 8430adf5311cf90ed02495afded055bc9019816b3d5f229af213716422dcf440.

The embedded image is a 1216 × 683-pixel, one-bit DeviceGray image compressed with JBIG2. It was decoded at its native dimensions and saved losslessly as grayscale PNG; pixel values remain only black and white. The figure was already isolated and aligned, so no additional crop, rotation or resampling was applied. The source PDF does not preserve natural paper colour. No added canvas, enlargement, colour or tonal correction, sharpening, retouching or reconstruction was applied. The source PDF remains unchanged.
