EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting scene of "The Fortune Teller on Casting the Coffee Grounds" from an original painting at Vauxhall Gardens in 18th century London. The English School's engraving, now part of a private collection, transports us to a world where mysticism and curiosity intertwine. In this image, we see a fortune teller seated at a table adorned with various objects that hint at her craft. A kettle steams nearby, ready to brew the coffee grounds used for divination. The fortune teller's clothing reflects the fashion of the time, adding an authentic touch to the scene. Surrounded by lush trees and foliage characteristic of Vauxhall Gardens, this setting evokes both tranquility and intrigue. The presence of a dog suggests companionship or perhaps even its own mystical significance. The inclusion of scientific instruments such as a walking stick or cane hints at an intersection between botany and natural history within this ancient art form. It reminds us that even in times when science was emerging as a dominant force, people still sought answers through alternative methods like fortune telling. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness not only artistic beauty but also cultural practices that shaped society centuries ago.
