EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an illustration from the late 19th century, depicting the diverse meanings of the letter "X" in American culture. The image features a banknote with the denomination of ten dollars, clearly highlighting how "X" represents monetary value and wealth. Simultaneously, on a barrel, it symbolizes the strength and potency of beer. The artwork is part of Aunt Louisa's wee wee stories: Country Alphabet, Baby, Hey Diddle Diddle, My Mother - a collection that aimed to educate children through engaging storytelling and vibrant illustrations. Created using chromolithography printing by J. Howard for McLoughlin Brothers in New York around 1870, this piece exudes historical charm. Measuring at 27.5 x 23.5 cm and preserved in a private collection since its creation, this photograph captures not only an artistic masterpiece but also provides insight into American society during that era. With handwritten dedication dating back to 1875 and texts by Laura Jewry Valentine (1814-1899), this image serves as both an educational tool for children learning their alphabet and a window into family life during that time period. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this snapshot from history through their lens while preserving its colors and details faithfully. This print offers viewers a glimpse into early North American culture through symbols such as money, fatherhood, coins, daughters - all beautifully illustrated within one frame.
