EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1845 depicts the founding of Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, in 1770. The image showcases a group of pupils gathered outside a log cabin, surrounded by the untamed beauty of the American wilderness. It is an evocative representation of the early days of education in colonial America. The print transports us back to a time when higher learning was scarce and resources were limited. Eleazor Wheelock, depicted as the central figure in this scene, stands proudly amidst his students, symbolizing his pivotal role in establishing this esteemed institution. The rustic charm of the log cabin serves as a reminder that Dartmouth College's humble beginnings have evolved into one of today's prestigious Ivy League universities. This visual testament to Dartmouth's rich history invites us to reflect on its enduring legacy and contributions to academia. The intricate details captured through wood engraving bring depth and texture to this historical narrative. The typeface used further enhances our connection with this piece as it echoes the era it represents. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork by The Granger Collection, we are reminded not only of Dartmouth College's founding but also of the resilience and determination required for educational institutions to thrive amidst challenging circumstances.
