EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing print titled "SPIRITUALISM: FOX SISTERS" we are transported back to the year 1851, where Doctor Austin Flint and his colleagues from the University of Buffalo are seen examining one of the famous Fox sisters. The sister in question claimed to be afflicted with spirit rappings, a phenomenon associated with spiritualism during that time. However, upon careful examination by these learned men, it was determined that her condition was actually due to popping knee joints. This contemporary American wood engraving captures a moment in history when mysticism and occult practices were gaining popularity in North America. The Victorian era was ripe with fascination for all things supernatural, and spiritualism had become a significant part of society's consciousness. The image showcases the contrast between science and belief as Doctor Flint delves into the world of deception surrounding spiritualist claims. It serves as a reminder that even amidst an atmosphere filled with mysticism and women claiming connections to otherworldly realms, there were those who sought rational explanations grounded in scientific inquiry. As we gaze upon this historic scene frozen in time, we can't help but ponder on how our understanding of spirituality has evolved over centuries while acknowledging the importance of critical thinking and empirical evidence in unraveling mysteries beyond our comprehension.
