EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Psychical Research Society" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a world of fear and anxiety. The image depicts a group of individuals gathered within the eerie confines of a grand staircase. Each figure exudes an unmistakable sense of anguish and angst, their faces etched with trepidation. As we delve deeper into this print, it becomes evident that these individuals are partaking in psychical research - an exploration into the realm of supernatural phenomena. Their purpose is shrouded in mystery; perhaps they seek answers or validation for unexplained occurrences that haunt them. The artist, William Rainey (1852-1936), masterfully captures the tension within this scene. The play between light and shadow further intensifies our unease as we navigate through the winding staircases enveloped by darkness. "The Psychical Research Society" invites us to contemplate our own fears and uncertainties about what lies beyond our comprehension. It serves as a reminder that even in times when science reigns supreme, there remains an innate human curiosity to explore realms beyond rational understanding. This thought-provoking engraving from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection transports us to another era while evoking timeless emotions. It stands as a testament to humanity's perpetual quest for knowledge amidst the unknown – forever seeking answers just out of reach.
