Making the Magnetic Pass to Deepen Mesmeric Sleep

A black-and-white halftone engraving shows a bearded older man in a dark suit standing and extending his hand toward the forehead of a seated man with a moustache. The seated man rests in an upholstered armchair with fringed trim before a richly carved wooden panel. A caption beneath reads the scene's purpose.
