EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of Victorian witchcraft as depicted in this image of six witches riding their broomsticks. Dating back to the late 1890s, this rare and intriguing photograph captures the mystical allure of the supernatural world. The witches, dressed in traditional attire, don long, flowing black robes and tall, pointed hats adorned with red stars and owls. Their faces are obscured by their hats or veils, adding an air of mystery and intrigue. Each woman holds a broomstick with a confident and determined grip, their long skirts billowing behind them as they soar through the night sky. One witch wears a brush in her hand, suggesting the connection between witchcraft and the natural world. Another holds a lantern, illuminating the way for her fellow witches. The scraps of paper scattered around them hint at the paranormal rituals and spells they may be performing. The use of scraps in this photograph adds an element of whimsy and playfulness to the scene. The scraps, with their red and black designs, add a pop of color against the dark background, creating a visually striking image. Despite the playful nature of this photograph, it also reflects the fascination with the occult during the Victorian era. Witchcraft and the supernatural were popular topics of fascination and exploration during this time, and this photograph captures the imagination and wonder of the Victorian audience. This unique and intriguing image is a must-have for any collection of Victorian-era photography or those with an interest in the supernatural and paranormal.
