The 'Boys Own' Parliament - A Historical Snapshot of British Education and Democracy
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases an engraving titled "The 'Boys Own' Parliament" created by the English School in the 19th century. The image, part of a private collection, was originally published as an illustration for The Boys Own Annual in 1881. The engraving depicts a group of young boys enthusiastically reenacting parliamentary proceedings. This charming portrayal highlights the benefits of acting and play in fostering children's learning and understanding of government procedures. It also reflects the pride and importance placed on education within British society during this era. Through this artwork, we glimpse into a time when public schools played a significant role in shaping future leaders. The image symbolizes not only the British system but also democracy itself, emphasizing how early exposure to governance can instill values that contribute to good citizenship. While focusing on British history, it is worth noting that this piece holds relevance beyond Great Britain's borders. As Europe underwent significant political changes during the 19th century, Germany emerged as a prominent force with its own unique educational system. This engraving serves as a reminder of German culture's influence on Northern Germany and its impact on European unity. Overall, "The 'Boys Own' Parliament" offers us insight into both historical education practices and democratic ideals cherished by societies around the world.
