EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - "The Crescent and Hand, 1923". Part of the renowned WD & HO Wills Cigarette Cards collection called Lucky Charms, this image represents the fusion of art, belief, and culture in the vibrant 1920s. At its core lies an Islamic symbol believed to possess protective qualities. The crescent moon, a celestial body revered for centuries as a source of guidance and inspiration, is intricately combined with the Hand of Fatima or Hamsa. This ancient talisman has long been regarded as a shield against evil forces in various mythologies and religions. The exquisite pendant depicted here exudes both elegance and mystique. Its intricate design incorporates elements from mythology, religion, superstition, and astronomy. As it dangles delicately from jewelry chains or necklaces worn by believers across generations, it serves as a constant reminder that they are safeguarded under its watchful gaze.

It encapsulates an era when people sought solace amidst societal changes through symbols deeply rooted in their faith.
