EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Sleeping boy, with horn book" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment of tranquility and innocence. The image showcases a young boy peacefully sleeping on a bench in a garden, clutching his horn book tightly. His tiredness is evident as he rests his head against the wooden frame, completely oblivious to the world around him. The horn book, an early form of educational tool used for teaching children basic literacy skills, symbolizes the importance of learning and education during this era. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of rest, knowledge remains close at hand. The artist skillfully portrays the child's exhaustion through delicate details such as closed eyes and relaxed posture. As we gaze upon this scene, we cannot help but feel a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when children found solace in books and nature. This enchanting print was originally created as an illustration for "History of The Horn Book" by Andrew W Tuer in 1897. Its inclusion in private collections has preserved its beauty throughout generations. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the timeless connection between sleep and learning – how rejuvenation fuels our intellectual growth. This image invites us to appreciate both the power of dreams and the significance of education in shaping young minds.
