EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Ghost Story, " we are transported back to the year 1930. A family huddles together in a dimly lit room, their faces etched with fear as they sit by a roaring fire. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as an aged relative regales them with a spine-chilling ghost story. Little do they know that above them, looming ominously, is the sceptre of a medieval knight. Its presence adds an eerie touch to the scene, hinting at the supernatural elements within the tale being told. This illustration was created by Alfred Bestall, renowned for his iconic drawings of Rupert Bear but also known for contributing illustrations to The Tatler during the 1930s. Bestall's attention to detail brings this haunting moment to life - from the flickering flames casting dancing shadows on frightened faces to each family member's rigid posture. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost feel ourselves drawn into their world of fantasy and suspense. "The Ghost Story" captures not only our fascination with tales of ghosts and spirits but also our universal love for storytelling itself. It reminds us of those moments when we gather around loved ones or friends, seeking solace in shared fear while listening intently to stories that send shivers down our spines. This evocative photograph serves as both a window into history and an invitation for us all to embrace the thrill of being scared through captivating narratives passed down through generations.
