EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Allegory of the law on education passed by Jules Ferry in 1881. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this lithograph showcases a powerful representation of France's commitment to education reform during that time. The image features a classroom setting, with a female teacher at its center, adorned with a Phrygian cap symbolizing liberty. Surrounding her are eager pupils, their faces filled with curiosity and hope for a brighter future. The presence of Marianne, an iconic symbol of the French Republic, adds an air of revolution and freedom to the scene. This artwork beautifully portrays key elements emphasized by Jules Ferry's educational reforms - free and compulsory schooling for all children regardless of social background or gender. It also highlights his vision for secularization within schools, promoting equality among students. The engraving exudes historical significance as it reflects upon an important moment in France's social history when access to education became more inclusive and democratic. The halo above Marianne further emphasizes her role as a guiding light towards progress and enlightenment. Displayed at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, this photograph serves as both a reminder of past achievements in education policy and an inspiration for ongoing efforts towards providing quality education for all.
