Academic Alphabet Colonial Education Prayer Primer Reader Spelling Hornbook

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an authentic piece of American colonial history - a hornbook from the 18th century. A reproduction of this fascinating artifact, which originated in the mid to late 19th century, allows us to glimpse into the educational practices of early America. The hornbook served as a fundamental tool for learning during that era. Its wooden paddle-like structure featured an engraved alphabet and basic prayers or lessons covered with a thin sheet of transparent horn, hence its name. Children would hold onto the handle and use their fingers to trace over the letters and words, aiding them in acquiring essential reading and spelling skills. With its intricate engraving and aged appearance, this hornbook evokes nostalgia for simpler times when education was cherished as a gateway to knowledge. It symbolizes both the academic pursuits of young learners in colonial America and their thirst for understanding. Granger Art on Demand has beautifully captured this historical gem through their expert photography skills. This image is not just about commercial use; it is about preserving our heritage and appreciating how far we have come in terms of education. Whether you are an avid collector or simply fascinated by American history, this print will transport you back to a time when children eagerly grasped these humble yet invaluable tools on their journey towards enlightenment.
