In Disgrace,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a charming and whimsical illustration from the "Little Mouse Family" series published by Humphrey Milford in 1924, depicts a group of anthropomorphic mice huddled together in front of their stern-faced teacher, Miss Mouse. The scene is reminiscent of a typical classroom setting, with the mice seated at desks, holding slates, and wearing school caps. The teacher, dressed in a long skirt and blouse with a stern expression and a ruler in hand, scolds the mice for some unspecified misbehavior. Lilian Amy Govey, a talented British artist, brought this delightful image to life with her intricate brushstrokes and attention to detail. The mice's individual expressions of shame, embarrassment, and apology are captured beautifully, adding to the overall charm and humor of the scene. The use of warm colors and soft lighting creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere, making "In Disgrace" a beloved classic from the "Little Mouse Family" series. The "Little Mouse Family" series was part of the "Postcards for the Little Ones" collection published by Humphrey Milford, a British publishing house known for its children's books and educational materials. The series was popular during the early 20th century and featured various illustrations of mice engaging in everyday activities, providing a source of entertainment and education for children. This historical illustration offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the whimsical and imaginative world of anthropomorphic animals and the importance of education in the early 1900s. "In Disgrace" remains a cherished piece of art and a reminder of the timeless appeal of mischievous mice and their schoolroom adventures.
