EDITORS COMMENTS
Poor Richard's Almanack: A Timeless Treasury of Wisdom and Industry from Benjamin Franklin This print depicts the cover of Poor Richard's Almanack, a publication by the renowned American polymath, Benjamin Franklin. Dated 1790, this almanac is a testament to Franklin's enduring influence on American culture and the values he held dear. The title, "Poor Richard's Almanack," is accompanied by an illustration of a humble, bearded man, later identified as "Richard," who symbolizes the common man. Franklin, a printer by trade, published the first edition of Poor Richard's Almanack in 1733, under the pseudonym "Richard Saunders." Over the years, this annual publication gained immense popularity due to its practical advice, witty sayings, and intriguing astronomical predictions. The almanac served as a source of guidance for the common people on various aspects of life, including industry, temperance, and frugality. One of the most famous quotes from Poor Richard's Almanack, "He that hath a trade, hath an estate," is prominently displayed on this print. This phrase encapsulates Franklin's belief in the value of hard work and self-reliance. The quote serves as a reminder that possessing a trade or skill is a form of wealth and security, and that industry and frugality are essential virtues for a prosperous life. This historical item is a typical representation of Poor Richard's Almanack, which became a staple in American households for over 200 years. The almanac's influence extended beyond its practical advice, as it played a significant role in shaping the American character and fostering the values of self-improvement, hard work, and thrift. This print is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the mind of one of history's most influential figures and the enduring wisdom he left behind.
