Cecil Henland's book of Ghost Signatures was popular during the early 1900s made from paper suitable for blotting with instructions to sign along a printed line, the page was then creased in the middle and folded back upon itself. The result is a phantasmagoria of spirits, bodies, faces, animals and other strange beings. The publication of the Ghosts of My Friends book predates the work of Hermann Rorschach. In this set a number of the inkblots have been playfully drawn into, reminiscent of Klecksography, pioneered by the German poet Justinus Kerner. Cecil Henland founded the National Society of Day Nurseries in 1906. She also produced similar unique autograph books such as 'Your Hidden Skeleton', 'The Family Tree or, The Hoax-o-Graph' and 'The Christmas Book.
