EDITORS COMMENTS
The print showcases the title-page of the 1693 London edition of Cotton Mather's book, "The Wonders of the Invisible World". This image takes us back to a dark period in American history - the Salem Witch Trials. The title-page is adorned with intricate typography and depicts an atmosphere filled with mysticism and intrigue. Cotton Mather, a prominent Puritan minister from Massachusetts, wrote this pamphlet to shed light on the witchcraft delusions that plagued New England in 1692. The chilling events that unfolded during the Salem Witch Trials left a lasting impact on colonial society, forever etching this chapter into our collective memory. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported to a time when fear and superstition gripped an entire community. The typeface used adds an air of mystery and foreboding to the page, capturing our attention immediately. This print serves as a reminder of how easily hysteria can take hold and lead to devastating consequences. It stands as a testament to human vulnerability in times of uncertainty and highlights our ongoing fascination with tales of witches and magic. Through its visual storytelling, this image invites us to reflect on our past while also urging us not to repeat it. It serves as both a cautionary tale and an opportunity for introspection – reminding us that even in modern times, we must remain vigilant against prejudice and irrationality.
