Raising the Soul of a Dead Person
A pale, upright figure stands within a circle before two men in a moonlit burial ground. One man points towards the apparition while a low altar and distant architecture establish the nocturnal setting. The plate is captioned Raising the Soul of a Dead Person, linking the scene to the book’s account of necromancy.
