EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Girls school, the sewing class" takes us back in time to an era of education and refinement. Engraved by Jacques Bacheley, a master of his craft during the 18th century, this image beautifully captures a scene from a girls' school. In this enchanting classroom setting, we see young pupils engrossed in their needlework under the watchful eye of their teacher. The atmosphere is one of focused concentration and diligent learning as these girls acquire valuable skills that were considered essential for noble birth. The composition exudes elegance and grace, with each girl displaying her own unique style and technique. Their delicate hands delicately maneuver the threads while their eyes remain fixed on their work. The mistress stands tall at the front of the room, providing guidance and instruction to her eager students. This image not only showcases the importance placed on female education during this period but also serves as a testament to the timeless artistry involved in needlework. It reminds us that education knows no bounds when it comes to gender or social status. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, we are transported into an educational realm where knowledge was cherished and passed down through generations.
