EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 18th century in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where an American settler is captured in this enchanting color engraving. Dressed in traditional attire complete with a tricorn hat, the settler is immersed in a world of knowledge and exploration as he sits comfortably on a Windsor chair at a desk inside an old bookstore.
The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, where books were treasured possessions and reading was considered a luxury. The bibliotheque rat, or bookworm, as described in the illustration adds to the charm of this historical moment.
Based on an illustration by H.R. Poore from the 19th century, this print transports us to a time when America was still young and full of promise. The attention to detail in both the settler's clothing and surroundings gives us a glimpse into daily life during that period.
As you admire this piece of art, take note of how furniture such as chairs played an essential role not just for comfort but also for style. This image serves as a reminder of our rich history and the importance of preserving it for future generations to appreciate.
