EDITORS COMMENTS

"1697: A Year of Escapes, Enchantments, and Enlightenment" In 1697, amidst a backdrop of historical events and artistic masterpieces, the world witnessed tales of bravery, beauty, and transformation. One such story unfolded as Hannah Duston defied captivity by Native Americans. Her courageous escape became a testament to the indomitable human spirit. Meanwhile, on stage in France, the Sleeping Beauty ballet mesmerized audiences with its reawakening scene. The ethereal magic transported spectators into a realm where dreams come true. Another enchanting moment occurred during the christening scene in Sleeping Beauty. As fairies bestowed their gifts upon the newborn princess, hope and wonder filled the air. Across borders in England, artist William Hogarth captured society's dark underbelly through his etching "The Reward of Cruelty. " This thought-provoking masterpiece served as a reminder that compassion triumphs over cruelty. In another tale altogether - Puss in Boots donned fine clothes fit for royalty. With new boots from a cobbler's shop enhancing his charm and wit, he presented a rabbit to the King on behalf of his master - an act that showcased loyalty and cunning. Yet it was not just feline heroes who captivated hearts; Peter I (Czar of Russia) embarked on an unexpected journey from shipwright to ruler. Through contemporary Russian engravings capturing this transformative period in history emerged glimpses into Peter I's visionary leadership. Amidst these stories stood John Gill - a churchman whose teachings offered solace and guidance during uncertain times. His words resonated with those seeking spiritual enlightenment amid societal changes. And let us not forget Sieur d'Iberville - a French-Canadian soldier whose valor left an indelible mark on history. His courage exemplified how one person can shape destinies far beyond their own time. As we reflect upon 1697's tapestry of events, we are reminded that the human spirit is boundless.
