EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite John Andrewss Circulating Library bookplate, skillfully crafted by Joseph Shepperd and published in Calcutta in 1774. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist from the 18th century, is now part of a private collection. The image transports us back to the era of the British Empire's influence in India, as it beautifully captures elements that symbolize knowledge and power. A trade card for this esteemed library, it represents not only a place where books were borrowed but also a hub of intellectual exploration. At first glance, we are drawn to the intricate details: a globe representing global learning and discovery; a crown signifying authority; putti cherubs embodying innocence and curiosity; and various ornate decorations showcasing Georgian aesthetics. These elements come together harmoniously on this bookplate. While gazing at this remarkable piece of artistry, one cannot help but appreciate its historical significance. It reminds us of how literature played an essential role during colonial times when access to information was limited. Libraries like John Andrewss Circulating Library provided invaluable resources for both British settlers and locals alike. This print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of libraries as gateways to knowledge throughout history. It invites us to reflect on our own relationship with books and reading while appreciating the craftsmanship behind such timeless pieces of art.
