EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print from 1755, we are transported back to a colonial American classroom where the power of education and virtue takes center stage. The image features two young boys, Virtuous Tommy and naughty Harry, engaged in a lesson from the renowned Fennings Speller - an essential primer for literacy during that era. Virtuous Tommy, with his attentive gaze and earnest expression, embodies the values of discipline and knowledge. He leans towards naughty Harry, offering him some much-needed guidance. It is evident that Tommy's intentions are pure as he imparts wisdom upon his mischievous companion. The significance of this scene lies not only in its portrayal of early American education but also in its depiction of life lessons. Through their interaction, we witness the transformative power of learning on both character development and personal growth. This woodcut serves as a testament to the importance placed on literacy during America's formative years as a colony. It symbolizes how access to education was seen as crucial for individuals seeking success within society. As we reflect on this historical artifact, it reminds us that even centuries ago, children were taught valuable lessons through textbooks like Fennings Speller. This timeless image captures the essence of youthful innocence combined with aspirations for moral excellence – an enduring reminder of our collective pursuit for knowledge and virtue throughout history.
