EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century, titled "The Fireside News, The Latest Intelligence" transports us back in time to an era when newspapers were a vital source of information and communication. In this illustration by the English School, we see a woman sitting by a cozy fireplace, engrossed in reading her newspaper. The warm glow of the fire casts a soft light on her face as she delves into the latest news. The image captures not only the act of reading but also highlights the significance of newspapers as a means of staying informed. With bow and weapon displayed nearby, it suggests that even in peaceful moments at home, one must remain aware of current events for personal safety. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched with precision showcases the skillful artistry involved in creating engravings during this period. This particular print was originally featured in Home Words magazine in 1888. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how far our methods of news consumption have come since then. Yet there is something timeless about witnessing someone absorbed in their reading material - whether it be through traditional newspapers or modern digital platforms - as they seek knowledge and stay connected with the world around them.
