EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "English Credulity, or The Invisible Ghost, 1762" takes us back to the enchanting world of the 18th century. This intriguing illustration from Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century transports us into a dimly lit bedroom where a scene of mystery unfolds. In this mesmerizing image, we witness a male conjuror performing his magical trickery. With candles flickering around him, he holds a funnel towards an invisible presence that haunts the room. A group of gullible men gathers around him, their faces filled with awe and curiosity. Among them is an innocent baby who seems equally captivated by the spectacle before them. The artist skillfully captures the essence of credulity as these individuals search for answers in this supernatural encounter. The concept of death and spirits permeates through this composition, adding an eerie atmosphere to the scene. George Paston (pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds), known for her exceptional illustrations, brings life to this monochrome masterpiece with over two hundred detailed images showcased in her book on social caricatures. This evocative print invites viewers to delve into a world where magic meets reality and challenges our perceptions. It serves as a reminder that even in centuries past, humans have always been fascinated by mysteries beyond our understanding.
