EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical cartoon from 1860 captures the craze for seances and table turning during the time when medium Daniel Douglas Home was practicing in London. The artist behind this scathing satire, published in "Punch" magazine, pokes fun at the growing interest in spiritualism and the occult. In the image, we see a group of people gathered around a table, eagerly awaiting communication with spirits from beyond. The exaggerated expressions on their faces convey both excitement and trepidation as they prepare for what they believe will be a supernatural experience. The cartoon serves as a humorous commentary on society's fascination with the unknown and our desire to connect with something greater than ourselves. It also highlights how easily people can be swayed by trends and fads, even if they border on the absurd. Despite its lighthearted tone, this drawing offers insight into the cultural climate of Victorian-era London and sheds light on the power of belief in shaping our perceptions of reality. As we look back on this historical artifact, we are reminded that while some things may change over time, human curiosity about the mysteries of life remains constant.
