EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases the iconic Merchant Taylors School in London, adorned with its powerful motto "Homo Plantat, Homo Irrigat, Sed Deus Dat Incrementum" which translates to "Man Plants, Man Waters, But God Gives The Increase". The image is a colour lithograph created by an English artist from the 20th century. The artwork was originally featured as part of a set of cigarette cards published by Willss Cigarettes during the early 1900s. These cards explored various schools and their unique arms and mottos. This particular illustration beautifully captures the essence of Merchant Taylors School's heritage and values. The school's coat of arms can be seen prominently displayed in this image, showcasing heraldic symbols that represent strength and knowledge. It serves as a reminder that while humans have the power to sow seeds and provide nourishment through hard work and dedication, it is ultimately divine intervention that grants growth and prosperity. This print not only celebrates the rich history of Merchant Taylors School but also pays homage to the importance of education in shaping individuals' lives. It symbolizes how students are equipped with tools (represented by weapons) for both defense (armaments) against challenges they may face in life and offense (infantry weapon) to seize opportunities presented before them. Overall, this artwork encapsulates the spirit of Merchant Taylors School while serving as a visual reminder of humanity's role in nurturing growth alongside divine guidance.
