EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mountain, if close by, you may take it that you have a dangerous enemy" transports us to the early 20th century when fortune telling cards were distributed with Black Cat Virginia Cigarettes. Created by an anonymous English School artist, this color lithograph is now part of a private collection. The artwork features an intriguing scene where a mountain stands tall and imposing in the foreground. The accompanying text suggests that if one finds themselves near this mountain, they should be wary as danger lurks nearby. However, if viewed from a distance, the mountain becomes a symbol of strength and protection - indicating the presence of powerful allies. This image evokes curiosity about divination and fortune-telling practices during that era. It reminds us of our fascination with predicting the future and seeking guidance through various means such as tarot cards or crystal balls. The intricate details and vibrant colors used in this lithograph draw our attention to every element within the composition. The artist skillfully captures both the beauty and foreboding nature of mountains while leaving room for interpretation. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported back in time to an era when mysticism intertwined with everyday life. It serves as a reminder that even in uncertain times, there is always hope for protection and support from unexpected sources.
