EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to a small village in early 19th century Galloway, where superstition and folklore reigned supreme. In this historical print, we witness a Galloway couple grappling with the belief that their child has been stolen by fairies and replaced with a changeling. Desperate for answers, they turn to the village wise woman on Hallowe'en night.
The wise woman takes the child and riddles it in rowan smoke, believed to have mystical properties capable of breaking fairy spells. As the smoke swirls around the child, tensions rise as the couple anxiously await the outcome.
This scene captures a moment steeped in history and tradition, highlighting the deep-rooted beliefs of rural communities during this era. The fear of fairies stealing children was very real to many at that time, leading families to seek out unconventional methods for protection.
Mary Evans Picture Library beautifully encapsulates this intriguing piece of folk lore through their stunning visual representation. The intricate details and emotive expressions on each character's face draw viewers into this mysterious world where magic and reality collide.
