Diviner Divining Fortune Fortune Teller Future Telling
EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Key, close by, successful completion of an enterprise" transports us to the early 20th century when fortune telling cards were distributed with Black Cat Virginia Cigarettes. Created by an anonymous English School artist, this colour lithograph showcases a key as a symbol of triumph and accomplishment. Intriguingly, the image suggests that success is within reach if one possesses the right key. The vibrant colors and intricate details draw our attention to the significance of this small object in unlocking opportunities and achieving goals. It serves as a reminder that every endeavor requires perseverance and determination. Interestingly, at first glance, we may overlook the reverse side of this illustration - where distant circumstances could potentially hinder progress. This duality emphasizes how success can be influenced by both proximity and distance. This artwork not only appeals to those interested in divination but also captures our collective fascination with predicting the future. The presence of a fortune teller or diviner adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the composition. Preserved in private collection today, this piece from Carreras Ltd's Fortune Telling Cards series continues to captivate viewers with its timeless message about seizing opportunities for success while remaining aware of potential obstacles along our journey.
