1773 Bonnet Desk Frontis Piece Phyllis Poet Quill Wheatley Writing


Phillis Wheatley - A Trailblazing Voice in History

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the engraved frontispiece of Phillis Wheatley's groundbreaking collection of poems, published in London in 1773. The image transports us to a bygone era, where we witness the remarkable presence of an African-American poet who defied societal norms and left an indelible mark on literature. Seated at her desk, adorned with a bonnet that symbolizes her identity as an African American woman, Wheatley exudes grace and determination. Her quill poised above parchment, she is captured in the act of writing - a testament to her unwavering commitment to expressing herself through verse. The engraving itself serves as both a visual representation and celebration of Wheatley's literary achievements. It encapsulates the essence of her work while also providing insight into the time period in which she lived. Through this frontispiece, we are reminded not only of Wheatley's talent but also of the significant hurdles she had to overcome as a person of color striving for recognition and respect. Phillis Wheatley remains an inspiration for generations to come - proof that words have no boundaries when it comes to conveying emotions and challenging societal norms. This print serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst adversity, creativity can flourish and voices can be heard.
