EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the calendar for February from the very first edition of Poor Richard's Almanac, printed by none other than Benjamin Franklin himself in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania back in 1733. As one gazes upon this historical artifact, they are transported to a time when America was still a young colony and Franklin was just beginning his journey as a publisher and printmaker. The page exudes an air of simplicity yet profound significance. The neatly arranged rows of dates and days remind us of the practical purpose this almanac served for colonists seeking guidance on weather predictions, planting schedules, and general advice for daily life. It is fascinating to imagine how these words penned by Franklin would have influenced the lives of those who relied on them during that era. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into Franklin's genius mind - a man who not only excelled as an inventor and statesman but also possessed an astute business acumen. Poor Richard's Almanac became immensely popular due to its wit and wisdom, earning him recognition as one of America's most beloved figures. As we admire this piece of history captured by Granger Art on Demand, let us appreciate the legacy left behind by Benjamin Franklin – his contributions not only as a founding father but also as an influential writer whose words continue to resonate with readers even centuries later.
