EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 19th century and immerse yourself in the world of childhood education as depicted in this page from an alphabet book published in 1875. The illustration, titled "GHI," features three distinct objects that represent the letters G, H, and I. The letter G is illustrated as a graceful girl with long curls and a flowing dress, symbolizing the feminine nature of the letter. The letter H is depicted as an open hand, emphasizing the phonetic sound of the letter as the "h" sound is produced when the hand is placed over the mouth to pronounce it. Lastly, the letter I is illustrated as an inn, representing the phonetic sound of the long "i" as in the word "inn." This page is a testament to the Victorian era's emphasis on education and the importance of learning the alphabet at a young age. Children would have spent hours poring over such books, memorizing the shapes and sounds of each letter, and practicing their penmanship. The use of objects and illustrations to help children associate letters with real-world concepts was a common teaching method during this time. The intricate details of the illustrations, from the girl's curls to the thatched roof of the inn, show the care and attention given to creating educational materials for children during the 19th century. This page is not only a historical artifact but also a beautiful work of art that transports us back in time and offers a glimpse into the world of childhood education during a bygone era.
