About this work

A richly colored multi-panel satirical print by Samuel Ehrhart from 1901, titled Superstition has always ruled the world. A central wizard in a star-and-crescent robe manipulates a small figure on a globe, surrounded by vignettes of ancient rituals, robed believers awaiting an end, a bank with money bags, a drug shop with bottles, a 'get rich quick' crowd, and a woman distributing spoons beneath the words 'God has himself spoken to me.'
