EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century print titled "Tschutkis man consulting the auspures (Asia)" we are transported to a world of mystery and ancient traditions. The unknown artist skillfully captures a moment of profound significance as a Tschutkis man seeks guidance from the auspures, or diviners, in Asia. The scene unfolds with an air of anticipation and reverence. The Tschutkis man, dressed in traditional attire, stands before the clairvoyants with his lance firmly grasped in one hand. His face reflects both curiosity and trepidation as he awaits their prophetic insights. Surrounded by symbols of nature's wisdom, including hunting tools and various animal representations, these augurs hold immense power over matters beyond human comprehension. With their deep understanding of the natural world, they possess the ability to predict events that lie ahead. As our eyes wander through this intricately detailed engraving by Leonard de Selva, we can almost feel the weight of history resting upon us. This image serves as a reminder that despite technological advancements and modernity's grip on society, there is still room for ancient practices rooted in spirituality and superstition. Through this artwork, we are invited to ponder humanity's eternal quest for knowledge about what lies beyond our immediate grasp. It is a testament to our innate desire to seek answers from forces greater than ourselves – be it through religion or other means – even when faced with uncertainty. This print offers us not only a glimpse into
