EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title page of "The Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith, a groundbreaking book published in 1776. The print features a handwritten annotation, adding an intriguing layer to this historical artifact. Created by an English School artist during the 18th century, this image is housed at The University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Adam Smith, the Scottish moral philosopher and pioneer of political economy, authored this influential work that remains relevant to this day. As one delves into its pages, they are transported back to the Enlightenment era when ideas about economics and market forces were being explored with great fervor. "The Wealth of Nations" explores various aspects of economic theory and philosophy such as the concept of the invisible hand - a metaphor for how self-interest can lead to collective benefit within society. This profound idea continues to shape modern economic thought. With its beautifully designed title page adorned with intricate details and typography, this print captures not only the essence but also the significance of Smith's masterpiece. It serves as a reminder that books have always been powerful vessels for knowledge dissemination throughout history. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this piece from their collection on behalf of eUniversity St. Andrews Library, allowing us all to appreciate and reflect upon Adam Smith's enduring contribution to our understanding of wealth and economics.
