EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Miss Campion, holding a Horn Book" we are transported back to the 17th century, where education was a privilege for only a few. The image showcases a young girl, Miss Campion, dressed in an elegant gown, delicately holding a horn book - an essential tool for learning during that era. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of early education as Miss Campion engages with her horn book. With focused determination on her face, she eagerly absorbs the knowledge contained within its pages. This illustration was originally created as part of Andrew W Tuer's History of The Horn Book published in 1897. The significance of this image lies not only in its historical context but also in highlighting the importance placed on literacy and learning even at such a tender age. It serves as a reminder that education is timeless and has always been valued throughout history. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are reminded of the power of books to shape minds and transform lives. Through letters and numbers inscribed on each page, Miss Campion embarks on her educational journey – one that will undoubtedly pave the way for future generations. This enchanting portrayal encapsulates both nostalgia for bygone eras and admiration for those who dedicated themselves to teaching children basic skills through these cherished textbooks known as horn books.
