EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Awful Invocation of a Spirit" takes us into the mystical world of sorcery and the supernatural. Engraved by George Russell and published by William Charlton Wright, it is an illustration to the renowned novel "The Necromancer". The artist Alexander Fussel skillfully brings this eerie scene to life, showcasing his talent for capturing the macabre. In this haunting image, we find ourselves in a dimly lit room filled with mysterious objects. A ghostly figure hovers above a circle inscribed with intricate symbols, while sorcerers perform an ancient spell. A flickering lamp casts an ominous glow on a book of forbidden knowledge, surrounded by skulls that serve as reminders of mortality. The atmosphere is thick with magic and occultism as a woman holds up her dagger, ready to delve deeper into realms unknown. The alchemical elements present hint at the pursuit of transformative powers beyond human comprehension. Fascinating and unsettling at once, this artwork invites us to contemplate the boundaries between reality and fantasy. It serves as a reminder that there are forces beyond our understanding lurking in unseen corners of existence. Displayed within private collections today, this mesmerizing print continues to captivate viewers with its evocative depiction of otherworldly enchantment.
