DEANE ADA: (1864-1957) English Spirit Photographer & Psychic. Deane's most famous photographs were those taken at the Cenotaph on Armistice Day in the early 1920s in which the spirit faces of multiple deceased soldiers appeared. Causing some controversy at the time, the Daily Sketch declaring them fraudulent, Deane strongly denied any wrongdoing and was also publicly backed by Arthur Conan Doyle. A.L.S., A Deane, one page, small 8vo, Englefield Road, Islington, n.d. (June 1922), to Mr. E. L. Cock, sending him some prints and apologising for the delay in doing so. Accompanied by the original envelope. Together with a sepia 3 x 4 spirit photograph by Deane (trimmed from postcard size) and also including a L.S., A E Deane, one page, 4to, Islington, 27th June 1922, to [Mr. E. L. Cock], replying to his letter and stating 'You ask if it would be possible for me to obtain something more for you. Do you mean that you would like another sitting for a photograph? If so will you let me know & I will see if I can arrange it'. Some creasing to the letters and the first with an area of paper loss to the upper edge (not affecting the text or signature) and the photograph with slightly irregularly trimmed edges, FR to G, 3
