EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Edward Kelley, a renowned magician from the early 20th century. In this intriguing image, Kelley is depicted in the midst of an awe-inspiring act - invoking the spirit of a deceased person. The illustration was originally published in Arthur Edward Waite's seminal work, "The Book of Ceremonial Magic" which delves into the realms of esoteric knowledge and occult practices. Set against a backdrop that combines elements of both graveyard and church architecture, this drawing exudes an air of mysticism and necromancy. The stone church monument adds to the atmosphere, evoking a sense of ancient secrets waiting to be unraveled. Kelley's intense gaze hints at his deep connection with otherworldly forces as he performs his sorcery. This artwork not only showcases Kelley's mastery as a magician but also serves as a testament to British mysticism during that era. It offers viewers a glimpse into the world where magic and spirituality intersected, blurring boundaries between life and death. As we contemplate this piece from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded that art has always been intertwined with human fascination for the unknown. Through illustrations like these, artists have sought to capture moments when ordinary individuals transcend their mortal limitations and venture into realms beyond our comprehension.
