EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving from a British edition of Benjamin Franklin's renowned book, "Way to Wealth" originally published in 1758. The illustration depicts one of Poor Richard's sayings: "The cat in gloves catches no mice". Set against the backdrop of early American life in the 18th century, this image captures both the wisdom and wit that Franklin imparted through his moral advice. The visual portrays a man wearing gloves attempting to catch mice, but failing miserably. This clever metaphor reminds us that being overly cautious or complacent can hinder our progress and success. Franklin believed in taking action and seizing opportunities rather than relying on appearances alone. Dating back to 1807, this engraving offers a glimpse into the historical context surrounding Franklin's influential work. It serves as a testament to his enduring impact on both British and American society during this period. As part of Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, this print invites viewers to reflect upon timeless lessons from one of America's founding fathers. Whether displayed in homes or offices, it serves as a reminder that true achievement requires boldness and initiative – qualities exemplified by Benjamin Franklin himself.
