EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "PENMANSHIP, c1880" takes us back to late 19th century America, showcasing the importance of proper sitting positions while writing. The wood engraving beautifully illustrates both correct and incorrect postures for individuals engaged in the act of writing. In this intriguing demonstration, two young men are seated at a table, engrossed in their handwritings. The image serves as a visual guide, highlighting the significance of maintaining an appropriate position while engaging in penmanship. One figure is depicted with impeccable posture - upright and attentive - exemplifying the ideal way to sit when putting pen to paper. Contrastingly, the other individual demonstrates improper positioning; slouched over with a lackadaisical demeanor. This stark juxtaposition emphasizes how crucial it is to adopt correct form not only for comfort but also for optimal handwriting execution. The craftsmanship evident in this wood engraving reflects the artistic talent prevalent during that era. It offers viewers a glimpse into American society's commitment towards education and refinement during this period. As we admire this historical piece from Granger Art on Demand's collection by The Granger Collection, we are reminded of how even seemingly mundane activities like writing were once considered essential skills worthy of study and improvement.
