EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking Motto frontispiece graces the cover of a bound volume of The British Workman, an improving magazine published in 1912. The industrial era was in full swing, and this periodical was specifically aimed at the working classes, providing them with knowledge, inspiration, and guidance to better their lives. The Latin phrase "Laborare est Orare" - "To Work is to Worship" - encapsulates the magazine's ethos, emphasizing the importance of hard work and dedication in both one's professional and spiritual pursuits. The image depicts a laborer in deep concentration, his brow furrowed as he toils away at his craft. Surrounding him are symbols of industry and education - a spinning wheel, a book, and a lamp, alluding to the interconnectedness of manual labor, intellectual growth, and the pursuit of knowledge. The religious undertones are evident in the halo above the worker's head and the cross at the base of the image, underscoring the belief that one's work could be a form of worship. The British Workman was a testament to the power of self-improvement and the potential for upward mobility within the industrial classes. Through its pages, readers could find articles on various topics, including temperance, education, and personal development, all designed to help them lead more fulfilling lives. This Motto frontispiece serves as a powerful reminder of the magazine's mission, inspiring its readers to view their work as a sacred duty and a means to not only provide for themselves and their families but also to grow spiritually and intellectually.
