EDITORS COMMENTS
In this haunting black and white woodcut print titled "WITCH: DIPPING" we are transported back to 17th century England, a time when fear and superstition gripped the nation. The image depicts a chilling scene of punishment for an accused witch, as she is subjected to the cruel practice of being dipped in the mill-stream. The atmosphere is heavy with mysticism and occult symbolism, as the witch's fate hangs in the balance. The artist skillfully captures her anguish and vulnerability, contrasting it against the cold indifference of those who carry out her trial. This powerful visual narrative serves as a stark reminder of the discrimination faced by individuals believed to possess supernatural powers during that era. The watermill stands tall in the background, its wheels turning relentlessly as if echoing society's relentless pursuit of justice or perhaps vengeance. It becomes evident that this act of dipping was not only physical torture but also a means to test one's innocence or guilt through divine intervention. Sarin Images / The Granger Collection has preserved this historical artifact which sheds light on an unsettling chapter in human history. As we gaze upon this evocative woodcut print today, let us remember how far we have come from such dark times while acknowledging our collective responsibility to ensure equality and justice for all.
