1880 Danger Newark Night Night Gown Police Roof Sleep Sleep Walking


EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing print titled "SLEEPWALKING, 1880" we are transported back to a late night in Newark, North America. The wood engraving captures the eerie scene of a sleep-walker roaming the streets, causing quite a fright for a new policeman on duty. The image portrays an old-fashioned house with its roof looming above. The exterior is dimly lit by the moonlight, adding to the sense of mystery and danger that surrounds this nocturnal escapade. A lone figure can be seen walking in her night gown, lost in her slumber-induced trance. This artwork from 1880 highlights not only the phenomenon of sleepwalking but also provides insight into societal perceptions during that time period. It showcases how even law enforcement officers were susceptible to fear when confronted with unusual occurrences like these. The artist's skillful use of wood engraving brings depth and texture to the scene, capturing both the physical environment and intangible emotions evoked by this surreal moment. Through intricate details and delicate lines, we are invited to ponder upon themes such as vulnerability, subconscious exploration, and human curiosity. As part of The Granger Collection's vast archive of historical art prints, this particular piece offers us a glimpse into an enigmatic chapter from American history while reminding us of our shared fascination with dreams and their mysterious manifestations.
