EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Noah Webster, a prominent figure in American history. Born in 1758 and passing away in 1843, Webster was an esteemed lexicographer and author who made significant contributions to the English language. The steel engraving, created in 1869 by Jared Flagg based on his painting, beautifully captures Webster's essence. In this image, we see Noah Webster seated with an air of wisdom and authority. Dressed in typical attire of the 18th century, he represents the intellectual men of his time. His focused expression suggests deep contemplation as he undoubtedly ponders the intricacies of language and literature. Webster's legacy lies primarily in his creation of the first comprehensive American dictionary known as "An American Dictionary of the English Language". This monumental work not only standardized spelling but also introduced uniquely American words into mainstream usage. The artist behind this engraving, Jared Flagg, skillfully portrays Webster's character through intricate details and shading techniques. Every stroke brings out his determination to shape America's linguistic identity. This print is a testament to Noah Webster's lasting impact on our language and culture. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, his influence continues to shape how we communicate today.
