EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cancer, The Crab, 1923" is part of a series called Lucky Charms by WD & HO Wills Cigarette Cards. Created in Bristol and London during the 1920s, this collectible card showcases the aquatic life of a crab while incorporating elements of astrology and mythology. The image represents Cancer, one of the twelve zodiac signs associated with individuals born between June 21st and July 22nd. In astrology, Cancer is symbolized by a crab due to its protective nature and ability to retreat into its shell when feeling vulnerable. This charming depiction highlights the intricate details of the crab's exoskeleton as well as its pincers ready for defense. Beyond its astrological significance, this cigarette card reflects society's fascination with luck and superstition during that era. It suggests that owning such an item could bring good fortune or serve as a talisman against misfortune. The vibrant colors used in this print further enhance its appeal as both an artistic creation and a symbolic representation. As we admire this century-old piece from The Print Collector collection, it reminds us of how beliefs have shaped human history across time. Whether you are drawn to astrology or simply appreciate the beauty captured within this image, "Cancer, The Crab" invites contemplation on our connection to nature and our desire for protection in an ever-changing world.
