EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "September" created by John Leighton in 1866, we are transported to a world where wisdom and symbolism intertwine with the passing of time. The image is part of a series called "The Life of Man Symbolised by the Months of the Year" published by Longmans. A man, representing mankind's journey through life, finds solace under a majestic tree laden with ripe fruits. As September marks the declining phase of the year, it serves as a metaphor for the later years in one's existence. The fruit-filled tree symbolizes abundance and charity, reminding us to cherish our bountiful harvests and share them with others. Leighton's meticulous attention to detail showcases his mastery in botanical representation. Through his artistry, he seamlessly combines elements from botany and natural history into an exquisite visual narrative. This fusion highlights not only the beauty found in nature but also its scientific significance. "September" invites contemplation on themes such as time passing, personal growth, and humanity's connection to nature. It serves as a reminder that just like trees bearing fruit each season replenishes our food supply; we too must nourish ourselves intellectually and spiritually throughout our lives. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images captures both artistic brilliance and profound symbolism within its frame—a testament to Leighton's contribution to both art movement and scientific methods during his era.
