EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century image depicts an anonymous Chinese fortune teller in the midst of his craft. Seated at a simple table, the man dons a wide-brimmed hat and focuses intently on the sheet in front of him. With a calligraphy brush in hand, he writes out a fortune for his client, likely using Chinese characters. To his right, an array of writing supplies, a stack of books, and a tube labeled "Qiantong" - sticks used for predicting the future - are neatly arranged. On the left, a bowl filled with various items, including the shell of a turtle, sits next to the table. A roll of lottery notes is also visible, suggesting that the fortune teller may have offered divination services in addition to traditional fortune telling. This evocative watercolor painting, with its rich colors and intricate details, transports us back to a time when such practices were an integral part of Chinese and Dutch cultural heritage. The setting, reminiscent of a quiet study or library, adds to the mystique and allure of the fortune teller's art. This image, from the vast collection of Heritage Images, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to ponder the role of fortune telling in history and the human quest for knowledge and understanding.
