EDITORS COMMENTS
The School Mistress, engraved by R. Delaunay (coloured engraving) captures a nostalgic scene of education and childhood in the 17th century. In this print, we are transported to a quaint classroom where a young girl sits attentively at her desk while her teacher stands nearby with a walking stick in hand. The room is adorned with classic elements of domesticity - an open window allowing sunlight to stream in, a playful dog resting at the girl's feet, and an old clock ticking away on the wall. The painting exudes warmth and tranquility as it portrays the intimate bond between teacher and student. As we observe this enchanting image, we can almost hear the soft rustle of pages turning as the school mistress guides her pupil through their lesson. The emphasis on reading and writing highlights the importance placed on education during this era. The artist skillfully captures not only the educational aspect but also hints at societal roles within this setting. A servant can be seen discreetly attending to tasks in the background, emphasizing social hierarchy even within these humble surroundings. This delightful print serves as a reminder of simpler times when learning was cherished and teaching was considered both an art form and responsibility. It invites us to reflect upon our own educational journeys while appreciating how far we have come.
