EDITORS COMMENTS
Exorcism by bell, book and candle, 1816. A chilling scene unfolds within the dimly lit interior of a room as fear grips the hearts of those present. In this print from 19th century artist Unknown, we witness a clergyman immersed in prayer while clutching a flickering candle, its feeble glow casting eerie shadows on his face. Trembling with terror, a man stands beside him offering support, his eyes wide with trepidation. The rest of the characters are caught in various states of panic; some cringe in fear while others desperately tumble downstairs to escape the terrifying presence that looms over them. Amidst this chaos, an owl perched high above observes silently - a symbol of wisdom and foreboding. Religion plays a central role as Christianity confronts malevolent forces through exorcism rituals. The furniture and cross scattered throughout the room serve as reminders of faith's protective power against evil. Women and children huddle together, their faces etched with sheer terror at what they are witnessing. Men too find themselves overwhelmed by fright in this battle between good versus evil. This print captures not only an intense moment but also highlights society's fascination with supernatural phenomena during the 19th century. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our modern world, ancient fears continue to captivate our imagination.
