EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title page of Samuel Smiles' renowned book, "Self-Help; with Illustrations of Character, Conduct and Perseverance". Published in 1869, this significant work by the English author was initially released privately in 1859 due to publishers' reluctance. However, it gained immense popularity after being taken on by John Murray and went on to sell a remarkable quarter of a million copies by 1904. Considered as the "bible of mid-Victorian liberalism". Smiles' book revolutionized the way individuals perceived personal growth and success during that era. The title page itself is an exquisite piece of artistry from the 19th century English School. Printed on paper and now part of a private collection, it represents not only the essence of self-help but also captures the spirit of Victorian values. With its intricate illustrations depicting character traits such as perseverance and conduct, this title page serves as an enticing introduction to Smiles' influential work. It symbolizes empowerment through self-improvement and encourages readers to take charge of their own destinies. Preserved for generations to come, this image from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and artistic beauty encapsulated within this iconic publication. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded that even amidst societal challenges or personal struggles, there lies within each individual the power to shape their own path towards achievement and fulfillment.
