EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs Bryan & Children (engraving) captures a timeless moment of love, education, and curiosity within the walls of a 18th-century household. In this enchanting print by Samuel Shelley, we are introduced to Margaret Bryan and her daughters as they delve into the wonders of natural philosophy. The image serves as a frontispiece to Mrs Bryan's renowned book, Compendious System of Astronomy, published in 1797. It beautifully portrays the importance she placed on education for her children and the wider community. As teachers themselves, Mrs Bryan and her daughters embody an era where women were breaking barriers in intellectual pursuits. With a telescope at hand, their eyes sparkle with wonderment as they explore the mysteries of the universe together. The portrait not only celebrates scientific discovery but also highlights the bond between mothers and their children. Shelley's skillful engraving brings out every detail - from each child's individual expression to Mrs Bryan's nurturing gaze. Through his artistry, he immortalizes this remarkable family who embraced both knowledge and familial love. This print from Bridgeman Images is a testament to how education can shape lives across generations. It reminds us that even in centuries past, there were trailblazing women like Margaret Bryan who paved the way for future generations through their dedication to learning.
