EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Alchemy and Astrology Taught in the Schools" transports us back to 19th century Germany, where education was deeply intertwined with mystical beliefs and ancient practices. The image, part of a private collection, depicts a scene from an illustrated history book by Charlotte M Yonge. In this mesmerizing artwork, we see a bustling classroom filled with eager students surrounded by symbols of alchemy and astrology. The walls are adorned with intricate diagrams representing celestial bodies and zodiac signs, while shelves overflow with dusty books on these esoteric subjects. A bearded professor passionately lectures at the front of the room, his gestures animated as he imparts wisdom to his attentive pupils. The engraving offers us a glimpse into the Germanic culture of that time period when alchemy and astrology were considered legitimate fields of study within academia. It reflects not only their fascination with unlocking the secrets of nature but also their belief in cosmic influences on human destiny. As we gaze upon this digitally cleaned image courtesy of Look and Learn's archive, we are reminded that education is ever-evolving. While alchemy and astrology may have lost their prominence in modern academic curricula, they serve as reminders that knowledge knows no bounds – even if some paths prove more fruitful than others.
