EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "What Will Become of Me!", transports us back to the 18th century and offers a glimpse into the world of children's morality literature. Created by an unknown English School artist, this print is part of a private collection and was featured in Christian Gotthilf Salzmann's book, "Elements of Morality, for the Use of Children". Translated by Mary Wollstonecraft, a prominent figure in feminist philosophy, this influential work was published in 1791. The illustration itself is a testament to both its artistic merit and educational purpose. It depicts a scene filled with symbolism and emotion as we witness a young child contemplating their future. The intricate details capture our attention - from the child's pensive expression to the surrounding elements that reflect societal values and expectations. Through this image, we are reminded of the importance placed on moral education during this period. Salzmann's book aimed to instill virtues such as honesty, kindness, and responsibility in young readers through relatable stories and illustrations like these. As we admire this historic piece of German culture within an ever-evolving European context, it serves as a reminder that timeless questions about one's destiny continue to resonate across generations. This engraving invites us to ponder our own paths while appreciating how literature has shaped society throughout history.
