The Modern Zodiac: Sagitar (November) - A Snapshot of English Society in the 1880s This evocative image, titled "The Modern Zodiac: Sagitar" from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a captivating glimpse into the historical and social fabric of English society during the late 1800s. The scene is set in the foggy, cobblestone streets of an unspecified English town, where the phenomena of nature and the traditions of the past intertwine. At the heart of the image is a woman, dressed in a tam-o-shanter and a warm coat, her face obscured by the thick fog. She stands surrounded by the sights and sounds of a traditional fox hunt, with riders on horseback and penny-farthing bicycles passing by. In the distance, the iconic figures of Gog and Magog, symbolizing the ancient guardians of the City of London, join the procession of the Lord Mayor's Show. The image is a testament to the rich tapestry of English history and tradition that continues to captivate and inspire us. The foggy street scene, reminiscent of the atmospheric paintings of J.M.W. Turner, serves as a backdrop to the seasonal celebration of November, which in the ancient zodiac is represented by the sign of Sagitar, the Archer. The Modern Zodiac series, an artists' almanac of English society, offers a unique and intriguing perspective on the historical phenomena and seasonal traditions of the past. This image, in particular, invites us to reflect on the enduring links between the natural world, the passage of the seasons, and the vibrant and ever-changing tapestry of English society.
