[610.] New York. Apprentices’ Library.
A pictorial plate of great beauty. In the immediate foreground an aged man, clad in classic garb, accosts two youths who have evidently but just risen, at his approach, from a moss-covered rock on which they had been studying, if the scattered books are an indication: with uplifted hand, the old man directs them to the temple of knowledge, which can be seen in the distance crowning the summit of a lofty hill: at the foot of the declivity the spires and houses of a village can be discerned: between it and the place of meeting a broad expanse of water stretches: a beehive at hand indicates activity, and the broken column behind the preceptor is a link connecting classic history with present time. Above the picture the muscular arm holds the hammer, and oak branches are about it. Signed, A. Anderson. Sc.
