EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to a quaint countryside school during winter. The scene is beautifully depicted by the talented artist Albert Robida in his book of children's readings from the 1920s-1930s. The image showcases a young schoolboy, bundled up against the cold, arriving early at the classroom before anyone else. With hooves on his feet to protect him from the icy ground, he carries a log for heating purposes and prepares to light the wood stove. Taking on responsibility beyond his years, he also takes up the broom to tidy up until both the master and fellow students arrive. As we observe this heartwarming moment frozen in time, we can almost feel the chill in our own fingers as we witness him blowing warm air onto them. It's a small gesture that speaks volumes about his determination to keep himself warm amidst freezing temperatures. This evocative artwork not only captures an era long gone but also reminds us of simpler times when children were entrusted with important tasks and took pride in contributing to their community. Through Robida's skilled hand, this image serves as a poignant reminder of resilience and camaraderie within educational settings where everyone played their part to create warmth and comfort during harsh winters.
