A student at the Asylum for Fatherless Children in Reedham, Surrey, Carter received a "Credit" pass for his drawing skills in Standard VII.

The image provides a glimpse into the educational system of Britain during this time period and sheds light on the challenges faced by orphaned children seeking an education. The certificate serves as a reminder of the importance placed on academic achievement and artistic expression within schools like Reedham.
Despite not being recognized as an artist by his teachers, George Percy Carter's accomplishment is still celebrated through this certificate. It serves as a testament to his hard work and dedication to his studies, even if his true passion lies elsewhere.
Overall, this print offers a unique perspective on education and history, highlighting both individual achievements and societal norms of the past. It is a valuable piece of visual storytelling that invites viewers to reflect on how we measure success and talent in different fields.
