EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Credulous woman and astrologer" takes us back to the enchanting world of 18th-century England. The image, captured by English School during this era, showcases a fascinating encounter between a gullible woman and an astrologer. The setting exudes an air of mystery as we witness the exchange between these two characters. The woman's expression reveals her unwavering belief in the powers of astrology, while the astrologer appears confident in his ability to captivate his audience with his predictions. Intriguingly, this photograph delves into themes of superstition and charlatanism prevalent during that time. It offers a glimpse into society's fascination with mysticism and its willingness to put faith in those who claimed to possess supernatural abilities. Preserved within the archives of Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this rare gem from Leonard de Selva allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic beauty. Through careful composition and lighting techniques employed by de Selva, every detail is brought to life - from the intricate costumes worn by both figures to their intense gazes locked in conversation. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the 18th century, it serves as a reminder of how our ancestors sought solace and guidance through astrology amidst an ever-changing world.
