EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1925, capturing a moment in time when news was delivered in a much different manner. The image showcases an early American town crier diligently reading the news to a group of townsfolk, who eagerly gather around him. The town crier stands tall and proud, dressed in traditional colonial attire with his tricorn hat perched upon his head. His voice carries through the air as he shares important information with the community. A young boy stands beside him, eyes wide with curiosity, absorbing every word that is spoken. The townspeople are captivated by this unique form of communication. They huddle together, their faces filled with anticipation and interest. Some wear hoop skirts and other vintage clothing styles of the era, adding to the historical charm of this scene. In an age before instant digital updates or social media feeds, this illustration by Frank Dadd reminds us of simpler times when news traveled slowly but had great impact on local communities. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and how we have evolved in our methods of communication over time. This screenprint captures not only a moment frozen in time but also highlights the importance placed on staying informed within small-town America during this period. It is truly a testament to human connection and our innate desire for knowledge-sharing throughout history.
