EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene of intrigue and mystique, titled "Credulous lady and astrologer". Engraved by Pierre Simon in the early 19th century, this colour lithograph captures the essence of an era where divination and astrology held great fascination. In the image, we see a naive woman standing before a wise astrologer. She gazes at him with wide-eyed curiosity as he consults his books and globe to predict her future. The lady's plumed feather hat adds an air of elegance to her full-length attire, while the seated magician exudes an aura of wisdom in his fur-trimmed coat. The composition is rich in detail, showcasing not only the fashion trends of the 18th century but also highlighting the artistry involved in divination practices during that time. The oval frame further emphasizes this historical context. This print transports us back to a time when people sought answers beyond what was visible to them. It reminds us of our innate human desire for knowledge about what lies ahead. Through this artwork, we are invited to ponder upon our own credulity and reflect on how ancient practices continue to shape our understanding of life today. Displayed within these frames is not just a mere depiction; it is an invitation into history itself – a glimpse into centuries past that continues to captivate our imagination.
