EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph, titled "Moon, close by, is a sign of great honours" transports us to the early 20th century when divination and fortune telling were popular pastimes. The artwork, created by an anonymous English School artist, showcases a scene from one of the Fortune Telling Cards that accompanied Black Cat Virginia Cigarettes. In this enchanting image, we see the moon shining brightly in the night sky. Its proximity symbolizes impending greatness and honor for those seeking guidance through divination. However, as the caption suggests, if the moon appears distant or far off in one's fortune-telling session, it foretells sorrow and grief on their path. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this print bring to life an era where people sought answers about their future with fervor. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with mysticism and our desire to uncover what lies ahead. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded that even in today's modern world filled with technological advancements and scientific discoveries about outer space and planetary moons; there remains an undeniable allure to ancient practices such as fortune telling. This print captures both our curiosity about celestial bodies like the moon while also evoking nostalgia for simpler times when diviners held sway over our hopes and fears.
