Storyboard page for Roots of Knowledge Panel Q-2

This is panel Q-2 from the sketch notebook or storyboard of Trevor Petersen, artist and historian, which he created for the initial design phase of the Roots of Knowledge stained glass project at Holdman Studios in Lehi, Utah. This panel continues the portrayal of the enlightenment period from Panel Q-3. Mr. Petersen describes it thus: 'In the background we have some hills and in the countryside we see Gulliver from Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift, and some very, very early attempts at aviation with the hot air balloons and parachutes. And this little [upper right] corner is devoted to the Japanese culture of the period with kabuki, dance and Edo art.'
