EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "DISTILLERY, 1844" we are transported back in time to witness a scene of alleged demonic activity within a distillery operated by church deacon Amos Giles in Salem, Massachusetts. The wood engraving, created in 1844 and reproduced from a fictional polemic written by Salem minister George B. Cheever in 1835, offers a glimpse into the controversial events surrounding this establishment. The intricate details of the engraving bring to life an eerie atmosphere as dark forces seem to be at work amidst the brewing process. The image portrays demons lurking around the apparatus used for distillation, emphasizing their malevolent presence within this seemingly ordinary setting. This print holds historical significance as it reflects not only on the existence of such establishments during that era but also on societal conflicts and legal battles that ensued. It is worth noting that Deacon Giles had successfully sued Cheever for libel over his fictional account. Through this artwork, we gain insight into the complex relationship between religion and vices like alcohol production during nineteenth-century America. It serves as a reminder of how deeply intertwined moral values were with daily life and how even respected members of society could find themselves embroiled in controversy.
