EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to a fortune telling scene and the signs of the Chinese zodiac. Reproduced from "Recherche sur les superstitions en Chine" by Father Henri Dore and published in 1911, this colourful lithograph offers a glimpse into the mystical world of Chinese astrology. Intriguingly, the image showcases various animals representing different zodiac signs, including the dog, cock, snake, dragon, rat, goat, rooster, cow, cat, rabbit, monkey, bull and pig. Each creature holds its own significance in predicting one's fate and future. At the center of attention is a wise seer seated at his desk adorned with ancient Chinese characters. With an air of mysticism surrounding him and armed with a walking stick or cane symbolizing wisdom and authority; he consults his astrological table to provide guidance to those seeking answers about their destiny. The atmosphere within this enchanting tableau is filled with anticipation as individuals gather around for their turn to consult with the fortune teller. The room buzzes with excitement as they eagerly await their predictions that could shape their lives forever. This artwork not only captures our imagination but also serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with divination practices throughout history. It invites us to contemplate our place within the cosmic order while appreciating both cultural traditions and artistic expressions that transcend time.
