1694 Dowser Dowsing Forked Stick Paranormal
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history from the 17th century, showcasing a French or Dutch dowser using a forked stick for dowsing. The practice of dowsing, also known as water witching or divining, has long been associated with paranormal abilities and the ability to locate underground water sources.
The image exudes an air of mystery and intrigue as the dowser concentrates on his task, holding the forked stick with intent focus. His attire reflects the fashion of the time period, transporting viewers back to a bygone era filled with superstition and folklore.
The intricate details captured in this historical photograph offer a glimpse into the beliefs and practices of people from centuries past. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with the unknown and our desire to tap into unseen forces that lie beyond our comprehension.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how ancient traditions and customs have shaped our understanding of the world around us. The dowser's actions may seem enigmatic to modern eyes, but they speak to a time when humans sought answers through unconventional means.
This print is not just a visual representation of history; it is a window into another world where magic and science intertwined in ways that continue to captivate us today.
