Source

Light, vol. II, no. 71, Saturday 13 May 1882, printed p. 224, PDF page 4, article Casts from Wax Moulds (continues on p. 225). The article describes these as engravings from photographs of plaster casts. It attributes Figs. I–III to the form called Bertie in its account. This describes the historical claim; it does not establish that a supernatural event occurred. The other group, IV–VI, is supplied as a separate Sources image, after this group in numbered reading order.
