EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration is a table XLVI(b) from Johann Bernhard Basedow's "Elementary Work," published in 1770. The image was created by the renowned Danish artist, Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki. This illustration was part of a popular textbook designed for children in the 18th century. The illustration depicts a group of American and European figures, both male and female, with expressions of awe and alarm on their faces as they gaze up at the continents of America and Europe. The black and white etching conveys a sense of historic significance and cultural importance. The figures, dressed in clothing typical of the time period, are depicted with a level of detail that invites the viewer to explore the intricacies of the image. The illustration is a fascinating depiction of the world as it was understood during the 18th century. The contrast between the two continents, with America appearing larger and more mysterious, adds to the sense of wonder and curiosity. The figures, with their varied reactions, convey the fear and fascination that people of the time may have felt when considering the unknown. This illustration is an important piece of heritage art, and can be found in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) as part of their extensive collection. The image is a reminder of the rich history of art and literature, and the way in which it has shaped our understanding of the world and our place in it.
