Questions about the past and the present

Spirit Photography was primarily dated back to the 1860's and early 1900's. Spirit photography was believed alot more in this time period because it was the fashion-therapists, fortune tellers, and psychics. Many questions arose as to whether or not the photos captured at that moment are true or not because the cameras being used weren't as reliable as the technology that we have today. Many people that were in anguish over a lost loved one, or family relied on such photos for comfort of knowing everything was fine. Robert Boursnell, born 1832-1909, was a spirit photographer and recieved markings on his plates to be a psychic in 1851. In 1903 the spiritualists of London presented him with a signed testimonial and a purse of gold as a mark of their high esteem. He later gave up with photography because just like all the rest of spirit photographers, he was accused of fraud.
