Three of about 12 images from an 1865 article about spiritists, people using mediums to communicate with the dead. Hugely popular in 1860s.

The article purports to be a translate of an English factual account, hah!.

The dresser looks like a robot :) Pus i get to use #undeadBeetles as a tag!

The first London underground railway (now affectionately called the tube); the 1870 newspaper article about it is in the description in the first Web link above.
