1893 Mixing Schools Starch Taught
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1893 captures a moment in the history of education, specifically at a board school in Britain. The focus is on young girls who are being taught domestic arts, such as mixing starch. In an era where traditional gender roles were strictly defined, these girls were being prepared for their future roles as homemakers and caretakers.
The image provides a glimpse into the curriculum of board schools during this time period, shedding light on the practical skills that were deemed essential for young women to learn. It serves as a reminder of the societal expectations placed on girls and women in the late 19th century.
Through this photograph, we can see the dedication of both teachers and students in pursuing knowledge and mastering new skills. The historical significance of this image lies in its portrayal of education as a tool for socialization and preparation for adulthood.
As we reflect on this piece from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of gender equality and educational opportunities. It stands as a testament to the progress made since 1893, while also serving as a valuable record of our shared history.
