EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to August 25, 1835, when the Great Moon Hoax took the world by storm. This historical print captures a scene of life on the Moon, allegedly observed by Herschel through his telescope. However, it was later revealed to be nothing more than a practical joke fabricated by journalists.
The image depicts a fantastical and imaginative interpretation of what life on the Moon might look like, with strange creatures and otherworldly landscapes. Despite being debunked as a hoax, this piece of history continues to captivate audiences with its creativity and ingenuity.
As you gaze upon this print from Mary Evans Picture Library, you can't help but marvel at the sheer audacity of those who concocted such an elaborate story. It serves as a reminder that sometimes truth can be stranger than fiction.
So next time you look up at the moon in wonder, remember this infamous moment in history when people were fooled into believing in a world that existed only in their imaginations. The Great Moon Hoax may have been just that - a hoax - but its legacy lives on through prints like these that continue to spark curiosity and fascination centuries later.
