Edward Arthur Sanders Wyllie (28 January 1848[1] - 6 March 1911) was a British medium and spirit photographer.[2]
Wyllie was born in Calcutta, British India, as a British subject, and moved to England as a small boy.[3] He moved to California in 1886 to work as a photographer. He also worked as a medium and spirit photographer. His spirit photographs were exposed as frauds.[4] [5] Negatives of pre-made spirit images were found in his house and it was also discovered that Wyllie had used a method of "palming small spirit drawings executed in luminous paint and pressing them to the photographic plate" which he confessed to.[6]
He died in London in 1911.
