EDITORS COMMENTS
The Bluestocking" is a captivating and evocative 19th century illustration by the renowned English artist Reginald Higgins. This beautiful color print, created in 1923, depicts a lady in academic attire, deeply engrossed in a book while perched on the steps of a grand library. The term "bluestocking," historically applied to women of intellectual pursuits, adds an important layer of meaning to this image. The lady's serious expression and the stack of books at her side underscore her dedication to learning. Her blue stockings, a fashion statement associated with the intellectual elite during the 18th and 19th centuries, further emphasize her scholarly nature. The rich colors and intricate details in the illustration transport us back in time, inviting us to ponder the lives of these academic women and the societal expectations they faced. This image, titled "The Bluestocking," is a testament to the enduring importance of education and intellectual curiosity. The library setting, with its towering shelves and ornate decorations, adds to the sense of history and tradition. The picture, which measures 21 x 15 centimeters, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical art or illustrations. Reginald Higgins, a prolific artist known for his detailed and realistic illustrations, expertly captures the essence of this intellectual woman in "The Bluestocking." This striking image, created in September of 1923, is a reminder of the rich history and tradition of academic women and their pursuit of knowledge. This print, available through Mary Evans Prints Online, is a must-have for anyone interested in women's history, academic culture, or the art of Reginald Higgins. It is a beautiful and thought-provoking addition to any home or office, and a reminder of the power of knowledge and the determination of those who seek it.
