May I ask for your expert help in identifying the fonts used on this advert--or similars? I'm going for a slavishly authentic look.
Thank you so much for your time and help!

A number of those are in a genre called De Vinne.

"Spirit World" looks like Tiffany.

"Wonderful Manifestations" is a narrow "Modern" style.

"Face to Face ...." reminds me of the Trade/News Gothics.

"YOU ARE BROUGHT" looks like a manually bolded Atlantis - and the only digital version I'm aware of is by Rick Mueller.
To me, "Wonderful Manifestations" looks like a condensed Clarendon, similar to Willow or Clarendon Condensed.
