EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the year 1692 in colonial Massachusetts, where a chilling chapter of history unfolded. Meet Goodwife Walford, an innocent woman accused of witchcraft during the infamous Salem Witch Trials. This American engraving from the 19th century captures her harrowing story. Dressed in traditional Puritan attire with a bonnet and apron, Goodwife Walford stands before an austere exterior that symbolizes the oppressive atmosphere of religious fervor and fear that gripped this era. Her pet feline companion perches on her shoulder like a mystical familiar, adding an air of mysticism to this haunting scene.
