The Newbury Witch, 1643 - A Haunting Engraving Unveiling the Dark Mysteries of the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the year 1643, a time when witchcraft and sorcery were deeply feared and shrouded in superstition. The image depicts an engraving created by an anonymous English artist from the 19th century, now preserved in a private collection. The Newbury Witch, as she is known, stands at the center of this woodcut masterpiece. With her piercing gaze and flowing robes, she exudes an air of both power and vulnerability. This illustration was originally featured in Mason Jackson's book "The Pictorial Press its Origins and Progress" published by Hurst and Blackett in 1885. Through meticulous digital restoration work, this image has been brought back to life for our modern eyes to behold. It serves as a reminder of how journalism has evolved over centuries – from early newspapers to illustrated press – capturing society's fascination with witches during that era. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork, let us ponder on the stories it holds within its intricate lines. The Newbury Witch invites us to explore our own beliefs about magic and enchantment while immersing ourselves in history's enigmatic past.
