- You've built a very nice lens. They looked like cut outs when I first saw it. There's lots of fake things like this in the world. Although the spirit world is real... just be on the right side!

- Fascinating lens, amazing and very entertaining - thanks! It's interesting that Conan Doyle was fooled, but he had a lot invested in the Spiritualist movement.

- Lovely lens and it's a lovely story too. I saw a documentary on them years ago on tv. Very interesting. Maybe it was all a fake, I guess we will never know. Like Nessie, Bigfoot etc...

- I thought the pictures looked like cut-outs of fairies.How could anyone have been fooled? I have heard there are people who believe in them though.Perhaps they need an imaginary friend.

- Great lens. I feature it on my theosophical society lens, and have taken it as a good starting point to explain something of the 'atmosphere' of the TS in that era.

- Lovely! I remember reading about the Cottingley Faries in a book about ghosts, faries and such as a child. Then I saw the movie Fairy Tale about the girls. Today, we look at these photos and obviously can see it as pure fabrication. But can you imagine what people thought in those days, especially when someone like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle believed it to be true? 5 star lens!
