EDITORS COMMENTS
Fortune Tellers Caravan - Romany Rose" is an evocative image capturing the mystique and allure of fortune telling as practiced by Romany gypsies in the 1930s. The photograph, estimated to date from this era, shows a beautifully decorated caravan, adorned with intricate floral patterns and colorful fabrics, serving as a mobile fortunetelling parlor. A gypsy woman, identified as Romany Rose, sits at a small table outside, her hands cradling a crystal ball as she gazes intently into it, lost in concentration. Her clients, a couple, lean in close, their expressions a mix of curiosity, anticipation, and apprehension. Palmistry, the ancient art of interpreting the lines and shapes of the hand, is the primary method of divination used by Romany Rose. Her skilled hands, seen in the photograph, reveal the intricacies of her craft. The table is strewn with various tools of her trade: a deck of tarot cards, a set of crystal balls, and a collection of palmistry charts. The atmosphere is intimate and otherworldly, transporting viewers to a time when the unknown was a source of both fear and fascination. The 1930s, a time of economic hardship and social change, saw a resurgence in the popularity of fortune telling and other forms of divination. This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of Romany gypsies and their role as fortune tellers, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the enduring human desire to seek insight into the future.
