Harvard Art Museums' own collection record for "Photograph of the Materialized Spirit, 'Katie King.' [with Dr. James Manby Gully]," an albumen silver print on card, dated 1874 to 1875. Object number 2010.56. The museum's own record carries the title, date and medium; the sitting's narrative context is corroborated here by two independent secondary accounts consistent with each other and with the object itself.
