EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative sketch, titled 'The Fortune Teller,' captures the intrigue and allure of a seance session from circa 1901. The image, part of the renowned March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, portrays a fortune teller in the midst of her craft, her expressive face and outstretched hand adding to the mystique. A younger woman, dressed in fashionable attire, sits beside her, her eyes fixed on the cards as she takes a puff from a cigarette. The smoky atmosphere, dimly lit room, and the air of anticipation all contribute to the sense of otherworldly intrigue. The sketch, created by the French caricaturist Henri Guyot (1858-1931), was first published in the French satirical magazine 'Les Maitres de la Caricature' in November 18, 1901. This image offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to ponder the enduring fascination with fortune telling and the unknown.
