The Boys Who Never Try to Know
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving from the 19th century that offers a glimpse into the world of education and childhood. This black and white illustration, created by an English School artist, showcases a school class filled with young boys seated at their desks. The image captures the essence of idleness and laziness as these boys appear disinterested in learning. Their bodies slouching, backs turned away from their writing desks, it is evident that they lack motivation and curiosity. The engraving serves as a visual representation of the seven deadly sins, particularly slothfulness. Despite its simplicity, this artwork speaks volumes about the importance of education and the consequences of neglecting knowledge. It reminds us that children should embrace opportunities for growth and intellectual development. Originally featured in "Our Darlings: The Children's Treasury of Pictures and Stories" edited by T. J. Barnardo in 1887, this engraving holds historical significance as it reflects educational practices during that era. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through Fine Art Finder, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty while contemplating themes such as childhood innocence lost or wasted potential. Let us be reminded by "The Boys Who Never Try to Know" to nurture our thirst for knowledge and encourage future generations to do the same.
