EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Mother Learns to Read" by Achille Beltrame tells a heartwarming story of determination and love. In the midst of World War II, an elderly Japanese woman yearned to read the letters her soldier son sent her. With great courage, she sought permission to attend elementary school. Now, at sixty-five years old, this remarkable woman attends classes alongside young schoolgirls without feeling out of place. Her noble and poetic purpose shines through as she diligently works towards her goal. The image beautifully captures the essence of her journey. The illustration was originally featured in Courier Sunday on December 21st, 1941. It portrays not only the personal struggle and triumph of one individual but also reflects the larger context of war and sacrifice during that time. Beltrame's skillful use of color lithography brings depth and emotion to this powerful scene. The composition showcases a classroom setting with a teacher instructing students at their desks while our protagonist sits attentively among them. This artwork serves as a reminder that education knows no age limits or boundaries; it is a lifelong pursuit that can empower individuals even in times of adversity. The resilience displayed by this mother learning to read is truly inspiring and speaks volumes about the strength found within us all.
