EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "School in the last century" takes us on a journey back in time to witness an educational scene from long ago. Created by George Cruikshank and now part of a private collection, this print offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of schooling during that era. The image depicts a schoolmaster standing tall with his rod in hand, ready to administer corporal punishment. The young boys before him are bare-bottomed, their trousers lowered as they await their turn for discipline. The atmosphere is filled with tension and fear as the whip hovers menacingly above each child's exposed skin. This artwork serves as a reminder of the cruelty that was once considered acceptable in education. It showcases the flagellation practices employed to instill discipline and obedience among students. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every emotion etched onto the faces of both teacher and pupil tells its own story. While this engraving may shock modern sensibilities, it also highlights how far we have come in terms of educational practices. It invites contemplation about our evolving understanding of childhood development and more compassionate approaches to teaching. Through this digitally cleaned image, we can appreciate not only Cruikshank's artistic talent but also reflect upon the progress made within our education systems over time.
