EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph captures a moment in history featuring Young Cato and his uncle's friend, Silo. The image depicts a young boy, presumably Young Cato, standing next to an older man identified as Silo. In the background, there is a glimpse of ancient Rome, setting the scene for this historical narrative. The inscription on the print reveals that Silo believes Young Cato to be the "glory of Rome," suggesting that even as a child, he possesses qualities that would make him a formidable leader if he were older. Silo goes on to express doubt about their ability to secure votes if Young Cato were running for office at his current age. This illustration is said to have been created for Marys Hancock's book "The Children of History: Early Times," published by Pitman around 1907. The artist behind this work is credited as J Beckham. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a poignant interaction between two characters from ancient Rome. It serves as a reminder of the importance of youth and potential in shaping the course of history.
