EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Fri-Masonry: Session of Magic" takes us back to the 18th century and offers a glimpse into the world of mysticism and secret societies. Created by Giuseppe Balsamo, also known as Alexander or Count of Cagliostro, this artwork is an intriguing representation of occult science. The scene depicts a young girl in conversation with a couple who are engaged in clairvoyance. The atmosphere exudes an air of mystery and enchantment as they delve into the realms of magic and prediction. The artist skillfully captures their expressions, conveying both confidence and curiosity. The setting itself reflects the societal context of that time - a bourgeoisie gathering where knowledge was sought after and shared among like-minded individuals. This print serves as a window into not only Italian culture but also European society during the 18th century. Engraved from F. -T. B. Clavel's "Picturesque History of the Franc Maconnerie and the Secrete Societes Antique and Modern" this piece holds historical significance beyond its artistic value. It provides insight into the fascination with secret societies prevalent during that era. Giancarlo Costa's expertise shines through in his restoration work on this engraving, preserving its beauty for future generations to appreciate.
