EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing 17th-century engraving titled "Poison Business" captures a dark and scandalous chapter in French history. The print showcases the notorious poisoner Catherine Deshayes, also known as "The Neighbor" along with various depictions of poisonings. During this tumultuous period, France was gripped by the infamous Affair of the Poisons. This scandal involved a network of individuals who specialized in producing and distributing toxic substances for nefarious purposes. The enigmatic portrait of Catherine Deshayes, one of the central figures in this web of deceit, adds an air of mystery to the scene. The print serves as a chilling reminder of the lengths people would go to achieve their desires or settle scores during that time. It highlights not only the use of poisons but also hints at witchcraft and its association with these sinister activities. As we delve into this historical artifact, it becomes clear that it is more than just an artistic representation; it is a window into a world filled with intrigue, danger, and moral corruption. The inclusion of notable figures such as Marquise de Brinvilliers and Lavoisin further deepens our understanding of how deeply rooted this poison business was within society. This image from Fine Art Finder allows us to explore an unsettling era where trust was scarce and treachery lurked around every corner. It stands as a testament to humanity's capacity for both good and evil—a cautionary tale reminding us that even beauty can conceal malevolence
