EDITORS COMMENTS
or Will-o'-the-Wisp: A French Peasant Woman's Encounter with the Natural Phenomenon (1869) This evocative image captures a moment of surprise and wonder as a French peasant woman, cradling her child, pauses in her journey home. The serene scene is disrupted by the sudden appearance of feux follets, or will-o'-the-wisps, along the path before them. Feu follets, luminous wisps of light, have long been a part of folklore in Europe and other parts of the world. These natural phenomena, often described as glowing orbs or flickering lights, are said to appear in marshy areas or along dark paths, leading travelers astray with their deceptive glow. In this photograph, taken in 1869, the natural world plays a starring role. The path, overgrown with vegetation, winds through a forest, leading the woman and her child towards their home. The natural surroundings are bathed in a soft, ethereal light, adding to the otherworldly atmosphere. The woman's expression is one of startled fascination as she takes in the sight of the feux follets. Her child, too, gazes up at the luminous wisp, his face filled with curiosity. The scene is a reminder of the magical and mysterious aspects of the natural world, and the sense of awe and wonder it can inspire. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a beautiful and haunting reminder of the natural phenomena that have captivated the human imagination for centuries. The image invites us to pause and appreciate the beauty and mystery of the world around us, and to cherish the moments of wonder and discovery that come our way.
