EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library captures a moment in history where a handsome girl is being taught to dance, while her mother watches on with great pride and anticipation. The facial expressions of both the girl and her mother are truly superb, conveying a mix of determination, joy, and hope for the future.
In the 1840s, education for girls was not as common or valued as it is today. However, this image highlights the importance placed on certain accomplishments such as dancing, which were seen as valuable skills in securing an advantageous marriage. The mother knows that by teaching her daughter how to dance, she is equipping her with a skill that could potentially lead to a better future.
The historical significance of this scene is palpable, offering us a glimpse into the societal norms and expectations of the time. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of gender equality and access to education.
Mary Evans Prints Online has beautifully preserved this piece of history through their collection, allowing us to appreciate not only the artistry captured in the image but also the cultural context behind it.
