EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating title-page of the 1693 London edition of Cotton Mather's "The Wonders of the Invisible World" transports us back to a time when witchcraft delusions gripped New England. This intriguing print, featuring an image of Cotton Mather himself, serves as a visual gateway into the trials and tribulations faced by American colonists during this dark period in history. Mather, a prominent Puritan minister and writer, played a significant role in documenting and perpetuating the hysteria surrounding witchcraft in Massachusetts. His book aimed to shed light on what he believed to be supernatural occurrences plaguing Salem and other parts of New England. With its mystical undertones and occult imagery, this title-page captures the essence of the mass hysteria that swept through these colonies. The intricate details hint at both fascination with mysticism and fear of unknown forces lurking within society. As we gaze upon this historic artifact, we are reminded not only of the infamous Salem Witch Trials but also how easily fear can consume even the most devout communities. It stands as a testament to humanity's enduring struggle with superstition and our collective yearning for understanding amidst chaos. This print from The Granger Collection allows us to delve into America's colonial past while contemplating themes such as religion, power dynamics, justice, and human vulnerability. It is an invaluable piece for those seeking insight into one of history's most perplexing chapters – where belief clashed with reason in ways that forever shaped our understanding of early American culture.
