EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled ""Although he could not read, he would turn over and examine her books, and kiss those which he liked best"" by Henry Justice Ford depicts a heartwarming scene from history. The image showcases the story of St. Margaret of Scotland, who had a profound impact on education during her time. In this artwork, we witness an endearing moment between St. Margaret and a young boy who cannot read. Despite his inability to decipher words, his curiosity drives him to explore the realm of knowledge through books. With great tenderness, he flips through the pages while St. Margaret looks on with affectionate approval. As if guided by an invisible force within the literature, the boy's innocent spirit leads him to select certain volumes that resonate deeply with him. In these instances, overwhelmed by joy or connection to their content, he expresses his appreciation by gently kissing them. This touching illustration beautifully captures how love for learning transcends barriers such as illiteracy or language comprehension. It reminds us that books hold immense power in inspiring minds and nurturing souls. Ford's work was originally created for "The Book of Saints and Heroes" edited by Andrew Lang in 1921—an anthology celebrating remarkable individuals throughout history whose stories continue to inspire generations today. Through this enchanting print, we are transported into a world where even without reading ability one can still find solace and inspiration among the pages of cherished books—a testament to the transformative magic they possess.
