EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the mysterious world of witchcraft in the 16th century. In this enchanting scene, we witness a witch engaging in her craft, selling some philtres to eager customers. The artist, Louis Charles Bombled, skillfully captures the essence of this era with his vivid use of color and intricate engraving. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the bewitching sorceress herself. Cloaked in secrecy and masked for anonymity, she exudes an aura of power and mystique. With her cauldron bubbling beside her and a variety of potions on display, she entices potential buyers with promises of love potions or remedies for various ailments. As we observe closely, we notice a couple standing before her; their faces filled with anticipation and curiosity. They have come seeking answers from this enigmatic figure who possesses knowledge beyond ordinary comprehension. An owl perched nearby serves as a symbol of wisdom while adding an air of foreboding to the scene. Intriguing elements such as skulls, frogs, and evil spells scattered around further emphasize the dark nature associated with witchcraft during that time period. The artist's attention to detail transports us into this Renaissance setting where superstition reigns supreme. This remarkable illustration from Jules Michelet's "Histoire de France" allows us to delve into a world where magic was both feared and sought after. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern age, there are still remnants
