EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Square caps turned into round heads, 1642" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving is now part of a private collection. The image depicts a transformation that occurred during the early years of journalism and newspaper production. The square caps symbolize traditional opinions and conservative ideas prevalent at the time. However, as the woodcut suggests, these rigid beliefs were gradually replaced by more rounded and open-minded perspectives. This shift was likely influenced by the emerging pictorial press, which aimed to provide illustrated news stories to a wider audience. The engraving serves as a visual representation of how newspapers played a crucial role in shaping public opinion during this period. It highlights their power to challenge established norms and foster intellectual growth within society. Digitally cleaned for enhanced clarity, this artwork showcases both historical significance and artistic finesse. It invites viewers to reflect on the evolution of journalism while appreciating the craftsmanship behind woodcuts from that era.
