EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Mr Searles crafting himself a water diviner, 1936" we are transported back to the fascinating world of the early twentieth century. The image captures an elderly man named Mr Searles engrossed in his craft, as he meticulously creates a water divining tool. With intense concentration etched on his face, Mr Searles is seen delicately carving a stick with a knife, skillfully shaping it into a dowsing rod. This ancient practice of using divining rods to locate underground water sources has intrigued scientists and laymen alike for centuries. The photograph's timeless quality takes us back to Europe between the wars when curiosity about such mystical practices was at its peak. The side view perspective allows us to appreciate every detail - from Mr Searles' weathered hands holding the stick to his flat cap perched atop his head. Surrounded by nature's beauty, with trees providing shade in the background, this snapshot encapsulates both science and tradition harmoniously intertwined. It serves as a poignant reminder of our ancestors' ingenuity and their unwavering connection with nature. Photographer John Topham expertly captures not only the physical act of craftsmanship but also evokes emotions associated with human curiosity and our eternal quest for knowledge. This remarkable piece invites us to reflect upon our own relationship with science and spirituality while appreciating the artistry behind this unique moment frozen in time.
