EDITORS COMMENTS
November, April 14, 1788" is a captivating color stipple engraving on paper created by the 18th century artist, William Nelson Gardiner. This exquisite work of art transports us back in time to an idyllic scene of autumnal harvest and family bonding. In the heart of the image, a father and his children are seen engaged in the seasonal activity of gathering firewood. The father, dressed in traditional clothing of the era, wields an axe with a determined look on his face, while his children eagerly help, collecting the chopped wood with baskets. A donkey stands nearby, laden with wood, adding to the sense of productivity and teamwork. The landscape around them is a beautiful blend of fall and wintry elements. Trees, adorned with vibrant foliage, stand tall against a backdrop of barren branches, signaling the transition from one season to another. The artist's masterful use of color stipple engraving technique brings the scene to life, with each leaf, tree trunk, and piece of firewood rendered in intricate detail. The image also showcases the simple pleasures of rural life, with the warmth and comfort of family and the bounty of nature's harvest at its core. The father's role as provider and protector is evident, while the mother, who is not present in the scene but implied through the children, embodies the nurturing and supportive role of motherhood. This print, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, serves as a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the 18th century and the universal themes of family, nature, and the changing seasons.
