Almost 5 years ago, I made a post on [livejournal.com profile] whatwasthatone.

The picture I seek is probably from the 1920s or early 1930s, and it's called something like "Annual Tea-dance of the Parapsychic Society". It's of English upper-class people at a tea-dance, but they're dancing with invisible people (ghosts, I imagine), and holding champagne glasses and cake-plates. The gentlemen are in tails, the ladies (I can't quite remember) I think are older women in Poiret-style gowns, but it's been 25 years since I saw a copy of it.




The Annual Dance given to spirit mediums by the Psychological Society. Dancing with spiritual partners to spiritual music played by spiritual instruments, from an illustration by W Heath Robinson.

Now to scrape up $54 plus postage.

Oh, good for you! And Heath Robinson - how suitable!

An excuse for solo dance expression.
