EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "COLONIAL PLANTER" takes us back to early 18th century colonial Virginia, where a tobacco planter can be seen enjoying a moment of relaxation at his grand estate. The illustration, created in 1896 by Howard Pyle, beautifully captures the essence of daily life during this time period. The scene depicts a wealthy and distinguished man seated comfortably in an elegant chair within his study. Surrounded by shelves filled with books and adorned with an exquisite bookcase, he is engrossed in reading while indulging in a pipe filled with fragrant tobacco leaves. A glass bottle containing what appears to be his favorite beverage stands nearby, adding to the ambiance of tranquility. Dressed impeccably in a peruke wig and colonial attire, the planter exudes sophistication as he enjoys some quiet time away from the demands of managing his prosperous plantation. Playing cards are scattered on the table before him, suggesting that leisurely activities were also part of his routine. This image provides us with a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle enjoyed by Virginian planters during this era. It serves as a reminder of their significant role in shaping American history through their cultivation and trade of tobacco. With its attention to detail and historical accuracy, this print transports us back in time to witness firsthand the world inhabited by these influential figures.
