The title casts Miss Baldwin as a "modern" Witch of Endor, recalling the medium in the Hebrew Bible who summoned the spirit of the prophet Samuel for King Saul. That comparison fit the 1870s, when spiritualist séances drew large crowds and public debate over mediums ran high. Issued by the Hartford firm Calhoun Print, this tall color woodcut poster uses bold color and dramatic staging to present supernatural entertainment to a broad audience, and it shows how commercial printers of the period sold the mystery of the séance to the public.
