EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the 18th century, where we find ourselves in the presence of an extraordinary woman - Phillis Wheatley. A trailblazing African-American poet, she sits gracefully with a quill in hand and an apron draped over her lap, fully immersed in her craft. The engraving serves as the frontispiece to her groundbreaking collection of poems published in 1773. Wheatley's poised and determined expression reflects her unwavering dedication to literature and artistry. Her bonnet adds a touch of elegance to her appearance, while also symbolizing the strength and resilience of African-American women during that era. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but be inspired by Wheatley's remarkable achievements. Born into slavery around 1753, she defied societal expectations and became one of America's first published black female poets. Through her words, she challenged prevailing notions about race and identity while showcasing immense talent. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates the indomitable spirit of Phillis Wheatley. It reminds us that even amidst adversity, creativity can flourish and voices can be heard. As we reflect on this powerful image from Granger Art on Demand, let it serve as a reminder that true greatness knows no boundaries or limitations
