EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cadmus gives the Greeks an alphabet" takes us back in time to ancient Greece, offering a glimpse into the origins of literacy. The artist, A. C. Weatherstone, beautifully captures this pivotal moment in history from Hutchinson's History of the Nations published in 1915. In this illustration, we witness Cadmus, a legendary figure credited with introducing the Greek alphabet to his people. Dressed in traditional attire, he stands before a group of eager students seated at their tablets. The scene exudes an atmosphere of profound learning and intellectual curiosity. The image transports us to an ancient classroom where education was highly valued and revered. As Cadmus imparts his knowledge upon these young minds, they eagerly absorb every stroke of his teachings on their wooden tablets. This artwork serves as a reminder of the transformative power that education holds throughout history. It symbolizes not only the birth of written language but also represents the timeless pursuit for knowledge that has shaped civilizations over centuries. As we gaze upon this engraving by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded that education is not merely confined within walls; it transcends time and space to inspire generations after generations towards enlightenment and progress.
