EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the calendar for April from the very first edition of Poor Richard's Almanac, a renowned publication printed by Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1733. The image transports us back to colonial America, offering a glimpse into the daily lives and routines of early American colonists. The page is filled with intricate details and carefully crafted text, reflecting Franklin's skills as both a publisher and printmaker. As we examine this historical artifact, we can't help but appreciate its significance in shaping American culture and society during that time period. Poor Richard's Almanac was more than just a calendar; it served as an invaluable source of information for farmers, merchants, and everyday citizens alike. It contained weather predictions, astronomical data, practical advice on various subjects such as health and finances, witty proverbs coined by "Poor Richard" (a pseudonym used by Franklin), and much more. In this particular calendar page for April, we see the meticulous organization of dates alongside astrological symbols representing zodiac signs. This visual representation allowed readers to easily track important celestial events throughout the month. As we admire this piece of history captured within this print from Granger Art on Demand collection titled "POOR RICHARDs ALMANAC" let us reflect upon Benjamin Franklin's immense contributions not only as one of America's founding fathers but also as an influential writer and publisher who left an indelible mark on our nation's cultural heritage.
