EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving, titled "AMHERST COLLEGE, 1855" takes us back to a bygone era in Amherst, Massachusetts. The print showcases the prestigious colleges and observatory that graced the town's landscape during the mid-19th century. In this scene, we are transported to a time when horse-drawn buggies were the primary mode of transportation. A charming buggy can be seen parked near the entrance of one of the colleges, hinting at a bustling campus life. The horses patiently wait as their riders immerse themselves in academia. The image captures not only architectural beauty but also highlights the natural surroundings that make Amherst so enchanting. Lush trees frame both sides of the road leading up to these educational institutions, providing shade and serenity for students and faculty alike. As we delve into this historical snapshot, it becomes evident why Amherst College holds such significance in American education history. Its establishment dates back to 1821 when it became one of America's first liberal arts colleges. This remarkable wood engraving from 1855 serves as a visual testament to Amherst College's rich heritage and its commitment to nurturing young minds for generations to come. It is an exquisite piece that transports us back in time while reminding us of how far education has evolved since then.
