EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Specimen of Black-board Flourishing" takes us back to the 19th century, where good manners and etiquette were highly valued. The artwork is part of a private collection and was originally created as an illustration for "The National Encyclopaedia of Business and Social Forms" by James D McCabe in 1881. In this intricate piece, we see a classroom setting with students diligently learning while surrounded by various bird species. The artist skillfully captures the essence of society's fascination with both wildlife and education during that era. The birds depicted range from sea birds to fowls, symbolizing the diversity found within communities. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every stroke showcases the draughtsman's talent in illustrating such complex scenes. The use of blackboard flourishing adds an artistic touch, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever on paper - a snapshot capturing not only educational practices but also societal norms prevalent at that time. It serves as a reminder of how art can reflect historical periods and provide insight into our past. Bridgeman Images has preserved this exquisite piece from the 19th century for us all to appreciate its beauty and significance today.
