EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness the unjust accusation of Miss Goody Two-Shoes for witchcraft. The image depicts a scene where she is brought before a magistrate, her face etched with worry and disbelief. The story behind this illustration dates back to 1765 when "The History of Little Goody Two-Shoes" was first published. Miss Goody Two-Shoes finds herself accused of practicing witchcraft simply because she had invented a barometer to aid farmers in predicting the weather. This groundbreaking invention, meant to help others, has now become her downfall. As we examine the worn-out courtroom setting and aging characters surrounding Miss Goody Two-Shoes, it becomes clear that justice may not prevail easily. A defense lawyer stands by her side, ready to fight against these false accusations and protect her innocence. This engraving by Walter Crane beautifully captures the historical context of witch trials during that era. It serves as a reminder of how fear and ignorance can lead society astray from truth and fairness. Through this thought-provoking photograph print, we are invited to reflect on our own judgments and prejudices. It reminds us that even those who strive for good can be wrongly accused in an unforgiving world.
