EDITORS COMMENTS
The Fortune Teller by J.R. Skelton, 1914 This image, created by renowned English illustrator J.R. Skelton in 1914, depicts a cozy and intriguing scene of four young girls huddled around a roaring fire on a winter night. Clad in their nightwear, they appear to be in the midst of an exciting and mysterious ritual. The oldest girl, with a serious expression, holds a deck of playing cards in her hands, intently studying their patterns as she makes predictions about their futures. The Victorian and Edwardian eras, during which this illustration was created, were marked by a fascination with the supernatural and the unknown. Fortune telling, using various methods such as cards, tea leaves, or crystal balls, was a popular pastime among the upper and middle classes. This scene at the fireside, with the warm glow casting long shadows on the girls' faces, evokes a sense of wonder and anticipation. The girls' expressions range from curiosity and excitement to skepticism and apprehension, reflecting the mixed emotions that often accompany such activities. The fire, crackling and casting an amber light over the scene, adds to the sense of warmth and comfort, while also serving as a reminder of the transient nature of time – the girls' futures are uncertain, just like the flickering flames. This charming illustration by J.R. Skelton offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the mysteries of the future could be explored through the simple pleasures of a fireside card reading with friends.
