EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Prudence Crandall, an influential American teacher and reformer who made a significant impact during the 19th century. The wood engraving, created in 1885 by an anonymous American artist after a painting by Francis Alexander from 1838, beautifully captures her essence. Prudence Crandall was known for her unwavering dedication to education and social justice. She bravely opened a school in Canterbury, Connecticut in the early 1830s with the intention of providing quality education to African-American girls. This act of defiance against societal norms sparked controversy and resistance from those who opposed racial equality. The image portrays Prudence Crandall as a strong and determined woman, wearing a scarf that symbolizes her commitment to the abolitionist movement.
