EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an "Educational Set of Squares" dating back to the mid-18th century. Created by an English School artist, this assortment of printed cards was published in London between 1743 and 1744. Each card measures a compact 5x6 cm, making it a truly remarkable piece of educational art. The close-up shot reveals the intricate details and variety within this set. Against a striking black background, these squares come alive with their vibrant colors and patterns. The careful arrangement highlights the artistic craftsmanship that went into creating each individual card. Originally intended for recreational purposes, these squares were part of Benjamin Collins' book titled "Directions for Playing with a Set of Squares". With no people present in the image, it invites viewers to imagine themselves engaging in leisurely play or educational activities using this unique set. This print not only captures the beauty and historical significance of these printed cards but also offers us a glimpse into education and entertainment practices from over two centuries ago. It serves as a testament to how art can transcend time and continue to inspire curiosity and fascination today.
