EDITORS COMMENTS
. This haunting wood engraving from the 19th century captures a pivotal moment in American history - the infamous witch trials of Salem in 1692. In this scene, we see Tituba, an Indian mystic accused of practicing witchcraft, standing alongside two young girls named Elizabeth Parris and Abigail Williams. The atmosphere is tense as smoke billows from the fire in the background, symbolizing both literal and metaphorical destruction caused by these trials. The image highlights the discrimination faced by Tituba as a Native American woman living among Puritan colonists who were deeply suspicious of anything they deemed occult or mystical. Elizabeth and Abigail are portrayed as innocent victims caught up in this hysteria that gripped Massachusetts at that time. Their presence emphasizes how even children were not spared from accusations during this dark chapter in colonial America. Through this wood engraving, we are transported back to a time when fear and superstition clouded judgment, leading to tragic consequences for many innocent individuals like Tituba. It serves as a reminder of our collective past and urges us to reflect on how prejudice can lead to devastating outcomes if left unchecked. This powerful artwork by The Granger Collection invites us to contemplate the dangers of scapegoating and reminds us never to forget those whose lives were
