EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a portrait of John Amos Comenius, a renowned Czech teacher, writer, philosopher, and theologian. Created by George Glover in 1947, the image portrays Comenius at the age of 50. The accompanying poem describes him as an exile who has faced adversity in his pursuit to serve God. Despite this, his exceptional learning, piety, and true worth have made him known throughout the world. Comenius is credited with introducing innovative educational concepts during the 17th century. He advocated for pictorial textbooks written in native languages instead of Latin and emphasized lifelong learning focused on logical thinking rather than mechanical memorization. Furthermore, he championed equal opportunities for women and underprivileged children to access education. The print is taken from "History of Czechoslovakia in Outline" by J. V. Polisensky (published by Sphinx Publishers Ltd. , Prague). It showcases Comenius' oval-shaped engraving against a monochrome background. This image not only pays tribute to Comenius' significant contributions but also serves as a reminder of his lasting impact on education worldwide.
