EDITORS COMMENTS
Multiplication is Vexation" by Ethel Parkinson is a charming and whimsical historical print depicting a winter scene in the icy landscapes of the Arctic or Antarctic. The image features three large, waddling penguins huddled together, waiting obediently for instruction from a small, stern-looking Eskimo child. The child, bundled up against the cold in furs and a hood, holds up a slate with the numbers 3 and 5 etched upon it, ready to teach the penguins the intricacies of multiplication. The scene is set against a backdrop of towering glaciers and icy mountains, their snow-capped peaks piercing the sky. The air is thick with the crispness of winter, and the ground is blanketed in a pristine layer of snow. The penguins, with their distinctive black and white plumage, stand out against the white landscape, their expressions a mix of curiosity and apprehension as they prepare for their mathematics lesson. Ethel Parkinson, a British artist, created this print in the early 20th century, and it has since become a beloved image in the annals of Arctic and Antarctic history. The print's title, "Multiplication is Vexation," suggests that even the most basic of mathematical concepts can be a challenge, even for those in the most remote and seemingly idyllic of environments. The image captures the spirit of perseverance and determination, as the Eskimo child patiently teaches the penguins, despite the harsh and unforgiving conditions that surround them. This print is a delightful reminder of the rich history of exploration and discovery in the polar regions, and the enduring human spirit that drives us to learn and adapt, no matter where we are in the world. Whether hung as a decorative piece in a home or office, or used as a teaching tool in a classroom, "Multiplication is Vexation" is sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone who beholds it.
