EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Address to the Devil: Let Warlocks grim, and wither hags, Tell how we you, on ragweed nags," transports us back to the enchanting and mysterious world of 1839. The photograph, held in the vast archive of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of historical folk lore and the supernatural beliefs that once gripped the popular imagination. The central figure of this evocative print is the Devil himself, depicted with horns, a goatee, and piercing red eyes. His wings, spread wide, suggest both power and menace, while his cloven hooves are firmly planted on the ground. Surrounding him are a coven of witches, their faces twisted with malice and their bodies adorned with the trappings of their dark craft. The haggard crone at the Devil's right hand, known as a wither hag, clutches a broomstick, while a warlock, with his long beard and pointed hat, gazes intently at the viewer. The title of the print, "Address to the Devil," hints at a deeper narrative, perhaps a plea or a warning. The reference to "ragweed nags" may be a nod to the belief that the Devil could take the form of a horse or other animal, and that witches could ride these creatures on their nighttime forays. This intriguing detail adds an extra layer of intrigue to an already captivating image. This photograph is a reminder of the enduring power of folklore and the human fascination with the supernatural. It invites us to explore the stories and beliefs that shaped our past, and to marvel at the rich and imaginative world of the unknown.
