EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from 1856 titled "American Reading, 1856" we are transported back in time to witness a young Bostonian engrossed in his reading. The intricate details of the print bring to life the atmosphere of an interior setting, where the reader is comfortably seated with a newspaper in hand. The image showcases not only the act of reading but also provides us with glimpses into various aspects of American life during that era. The presence of a spittoon suggests that smoking was prevalent and socially acceptable at the time, while two men conversing nearby hint at a sense of camaraderie and community. The typeface used for the newspaper adds authenticity to this historical depiction, reminding us that even in those days, typography played an essential role in communication and storytelling. This wood engraving beautifully captures both the physical appearance and mindset of a young Bostonian reader from 1856. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with literature and how it has shaped society throughout history.
