EDITORS COMMENTS
In this humorous engraving by Frederick Burr Opper, titled "Daniel Webster could not stand up before a school and utter a word" we are transported back to a comical moment in American history. The illustration was created for Bill Nyes History of the United States, published in 1894. The scene depicts Daniel Webster, an influential American statesman and orator, facing an unexpected challenge. As he stands before a school, his usually eloquent voice fails him completely. Despite his reputation as a skilled speaker, Webster finds himself unable to utter even a single word. This amusing portrayal captures the essence of human vulnerability and reminds us that even the most accomplished individuals can experience moments of comedic mishap. It serves as a lighthearted reminder that no one is immune to occasional lapses or embarrassing situations. Opper's clever use of humor adds another layer to this historical depiction. By juxtaposing Webster's renowned speaking abilities with his sudden inability to communicate effectively, the artist invites us to find amusement in our shared human experiences. Through its combination of wit and historical context, this print offers viewers both entertainment and insight into America's past. Whether you appreciate comedy or have an interest in American history, this engraving is sure to bring laughter and enjoyment while reminding us that even great figures like Daniel Webster were not exempt from life's humorous surprises.
