EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the end of a Bohemian vampire in the 17th century, an era filled with folklore and superstition. The vampire, once a figure of intrigue and allure, lies lifeless in his decaying coffin. His once-handsome face is now twisted in eternal agony as a red-hot iron is plunged into his evil heart. The use of iron, a common tool in folklore for vanquishing the undead, adds to the historical authenticity of the scene. The vampire's Bohemian attire, complete with lace ruff and flowing robes, is a stark contrast to the harshness of the iron and the fiery inferno it creates. The century-old wood of the coffin bears the marks of time, adding to the sense of history and the passage of time. The image is reminiscent of the many tales of vampires that circulated in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries, when fear of the unknown and the supernatural was rampant. These stories often depicted vampires as evil beings who preyed on the living, and the only way to put an end to their reign of terror was to drive a stake through their heart or decapitate them. Despite the fear and horror that these tales instilled, they also held a certain allure, with many people drawn to the mysterious and otherworldly nature of the undead. This image captures the essence of that fascination, as well as the brutal reality of the supposed remedy for a vampire's curse. In conclusion, this photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library offers a glimpse into the rich history of folklore and superstition surrounding vampires in the 17th century. The image is a powerful reminder of the fear and fascination that these creatures held, and the lengths that people would go to in order to protect themselves from their supposed evil.
