The Old Hedge School, 1872
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the 19th century in America. The engraving, created by C Burt for John Gilmary Shea's A Child's History of the United States, beautifully captures an intimate scene inside a traditional classroom. In this nostalgic image, we see a group of schoolboys engrossed in their studies. Seated on simple wooden stools around a sturdy desk, they eagerly delve into literature with books open before them. The dedicated teacher stands at the front of the class, imparting knowledge and wisdom to his attentive pupils. The room exudes an air of simplicity and rustic charm. With its bare walls and basic furniture, it reflects the humble setting of a hedge school - small educational institutions often found in rural areas during this era. A slate board hangs on one wall, serving as both teaching aid and canvas for young minds to practice their writing skills. This enchanting print not only showcases education but also offers us a glimpse into American history. It reminds us of the importance placed on learning even in simpler times when resources were limited. As we admire this snapshot from yesteryears captured by artist C Burt, we are transported back to an era where knowledge was cherished and passed down through generations.
