EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 18th century print captures a tender moment of communication and connection within the confines of a German household. At 25 minutes past 1, the father, dressed in the formal attire of the era, sits before his family, a large open book in hand. His expression is focused and engaged as he reads aloud, his voice carrying the words and stories to his rapt audience. The children, clad in their Sunday best, lean in, their eyes fixed on their father's face, their ears attuned to his every word. The mother, with a gentle smile, watches over the scene, her hands folded in her lap. In the background, a servant girl pauses in her duties, her tray laden with refreshments, a testament to the importance of this daily ritual. The print, titled 'Papa Liest Lesen' or 'Father Reads to Family' in German, is a poignant reminder of the power of the written word and the bonds it can forge. The simple act of reading aloud, a common practice during this time, brought families together, transported them to new worlds, and instilled a love of learning and knowledge. This historical print, with its intricate details and authenticity, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the enduring importance of family, communication, and the written word. The image, from the vast collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, is a must-have for history enthusiasts, educators, and anyone seeking to add a touch of the past to their home or office decor.
