EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Moon Dwellers (circa 1835)" takes us back to a time when the mysteries of outer space were yet to be fully explored. The image is derived from a cartoon entitled "A view of the inhabitants of the moon, as seen through the telescope of Sir John Herschell" which was featured in a pamphlet called "The History of The Moon" published between 1834 and 1837 by B D Cousins. In this intriguing landscape, we are transported to an otherworldly hamlet on the moon's surface. A group of male and female figures can be seen going about their daily lives amidst peculiar surroundings. They appear engaged in various activities such as flying, feeding, and even talking with one another. A lone child stands near a tree, adding an element of innocence to this enigmatic scene. The image evokes a sense of wonder and curiosity about what lies beyond our own natural world. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, humans have been captivated by myths and mysteries surrounding celestial bodies like the moon. With its artistic portrayal blending science fiction with imagination, this archival photograph transports us back in time while simultaneously sparking our fascination for both literature and astronomy. It invites us to ponder upon how past generations envisioned life on distant worlds while appreciating their creative expressions through art.
