EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print captures the intriguing story of Ann Moore, known as "the fasting woman of Tutbury". Born in 1761, she gained notoriety for her alleged ability to survive on long fasts. However, this image reveals the truth behind her claims. Created by Robert Cooper in 1869, the lithograph depicts Ann Moore lying in her fasting bed with a Bible and spectacles nearby. The artist based his work on a stipple engraving from Henry Wilson and James Caulfield's Book of Wonderful Characters. This publication aimed to showcase remarkable and eccentric individuals throughout history. Ann Moore began fasting for money in 1807 but was exposed as a fraud six years later. In 1816, she faced further consequences when convicted for falsely collecting funds for charity. The lithograph serves as a reminder of her deceitful actions during this period. The image also provides insight into early nineteenth-century domestic life. It portrays an elaborate bedroom setting reminiscent of grand townhouses or homesteads of that era. This context adds depth to the narrative surrounding Ann Moore's fraudulent activities. Ultimately, this lithograph invites viewers to contemplate themes such as deception, hunger, and societal curiosity through its portrayal of Ann Moore's controversial life story.
