EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ship, signifies riches, to be earned in business or obtained by inheritance" transports us to a time when fortune telling cards were distributed with Black Cat Virginia Cigarettes. Created by an English School artist in the early 20th century, this colour lithograph showcases the symbolic power of a ship as it represents wealth and prosperity. The image suggests that riches can be attained through successful business ventures or inherited from previous generations. The ship's presence on this card holds even more significance if it is placed near the individual's personal card, indicating an upcoming voyage. It serves as a reminder that opportunities for growth and abundance may lie just beyond the horizon. Displayed within a private collection today, this artwork offers us a glimpse into the world of divination and fortune telling. A skilled diviner would have used this card to provide insights into one's future prospects and financial success. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of our innate desire to seek guidance about what lies ahead. Whether through ancient practices like divination or modern methods such as consulting financial advisors, humans have always sought ways to navigate their path towards prosperity and fulfillment.
