EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by John Leighton, titled "By yielding thou may st conquer" invites us to delve into the realm of wisdom and historical adages. The image, part of a private collection, is an illustration for Moral Emblems with Aphorisms, Adages, and Proverbs of All Ages and Nations from Jacob Cats and Robert Farlie. Leighton's intricate artwork beautifully captures the essence of this timeless proverb. It encourages us to contemplate the power found in surrendering or yielding rather than forcefully resisting. In doing so, we can ultimately achieve victory or conquer our challenges. The engraving transports us back to a different era as it was originally published in 1860 by Richard Pigot. Leighton's illustrations were freely rendered from designs found in various works, showcasing his artistic talent and attention to detail. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the importance of moral values throughout history. The aphorisms and proverbs depicted within these pages offer valuable insights into human nature and provide guidance for navigating life's complexities. This photograph print from Bridgeman Images serves as a visual reminder that wisdom transcends time. It prompts us to reflect on our own actions and choices while appreciating the rich tapestry of historical knowledge passed down through generations.
