EDITORS COMMENTS
Going To School, c. 1847: A Sentimental Glimpse into Scottish Childhood". This coloured lithograph by Robert Ronald McIan takes us back in time to the wintry landscape of 19th-century Scotland. The scene depicts a group of schoolchildren braving the cold as they make their way to school, bundled up in tartan kilts and scarves. The children's resilience is evident as they trudge through the snow barefoot, their footprints marking their determined journey. Despite the harsh conditions, there is an air of innocence and excitement among them, captured beautifully by McIan's skilled hand. In the foreground, one child blows a horn instrument, perhaps signaling their arrival or simply adding a touch of playfulness to this otherwise chilly setting. Their rosy cheeks and bright eyes reveal both anticipation and joy for what lies ahead within those classroom walls. This enchanting print not only showcases traditional Scottish attire but also serves as a poignant reminder of simpler times when education was valued above all else. It transports us back to an era where winters were colder yet hearts warmer; where even amidst adversity, children found solace in learning together. As we gaze upon this timeless image from our private collection, let it serve as a gentle reminder that no matter how challenging life may be at times, education remains an invaluable gift that can warm even the coldest winter days.
