EDITORS COMMENTS
This panel from an engraving, dating back to around 1800, is a visual representation of Benjamin Franklin's famous publication, "Poor Richard Illustrated". The motto inscribed on the print reads: "Dost Thou Love Life? Then Do Not Squander Time, For That Is The Stuff Life Is Made Of". This powerful message serves as a reminder to cherish and make the most of our precious time. The scene depicted in this artwork showcases an 18th-century American bar where men and women gather for leisurely activities. A group of friends can be seen enjoying various forms of entertainment such as bowling and taking a relaxing walk. One man leans on his cane while smoking a pipe, exuding an air of contentment. Another gentleman sits with his sack nearby, perhaps symbolizing the simplicity and modesty that Franklin often advocated for. This engraving not only captures the spirit of socializing during that era but also reflects Franklin's philosophy on life. It encourages individuals to prioritize their time wisely instead of wasting it frivolously. By doing so, one can truly appreciate and embrace the essence of existence. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece by The Granger Collection in New York, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever – reminding us all to value every second we have been given.
