The School (Board) Match, 1873. Artist: Joseph Swain
The School (Board) Match, 1873. Various nonconformist factions are involved in the School (Board) Match being umpired by Mr William Forster. The education football lies forgotten at the front of the cartoon. In November 1873, the second London School Board was elected but, as always, the in-fighting of the different religious groups predominated. This was because Gladstone had famously agreed an amendment that limited religious education in Board Schools to Bible reading and hymn-singing. Many were satisfied with this, but many others believed that the whole basis of education should be religious. From Punch, or the London Charivari, December 6, 1873

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The School (Board) Match, 1873" captures a significant moment in history when various nonconformist factions clashed during the election of the second London School Board. Created by artists Joseph Swain and John Tenniel, this engraving showcases the intense political struggle that overshadowed education reform at the time. Intriguingly, amidst the chaos depicted in the cartoon, lies a forgotten education football at the forefront. Symbolic of neglected educational priorities, it serves as a powerful reminder of how religious disputes took precedence over advancing learning opportunities for children. At the center of this tumultuous scene stands Mr. William Forster, serving as an umpire to mediate between conflicting parties. His presence highlights his role in overseeing this contentious match and attempting to maintain order amidst fervent disagreements. Gladstone's amendment limiting religious education to Bible reading and hymn-singing further fueled tensions among those who believed that religion should form the foundation of all educational endeavors. This controversy is brilliantly satirized through Swain's artistic vision. As we delve into this heritage image partnership between creators Tenniel and Swain, we are transported back to 19th-century London where politics collided with education reform on a grand scale. Through their artistry, they shed light on an era defined by fierce debates surrounding faith-based instruction versus secular schooling—a topic still relevant today.
