EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print "Both Puzzled, 1868" by Erskine Nicol takes us back to a classroom in the late 19th century. The monochrome image showcases two schoolboys seated at their desks, engrossed in their studies. As they scratch their heads in confusion, it is evident that they are facing an intellectual challenge. The artist skillfully captures the essence of education and the pursuit of knowledge within this intimate interior setting. The teacher's presence can be inferred from the books and papers scattered on his desk, suggesting his guidance and instruction. The atmosphere exudes a sense of curiosity and determination as these young minds grapple with complex concepts. This snapshot from Bibbys Annual 1912 invites us to reflect on the timeless nature of education and its impact on generations past. It serves as a reminder that even amidst technological advancements, some aspects of learning remain constant throughout history. Through this black-and-white portrait, we glimpse into a bygone era when literature was cherished and teaching held great importance. Erskine Nicol's masterful brushstrokes bring life to this scene frozen in time, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty of artistry and the significance of education for society's progress. As we admire "Both Puzzled" let us ponder how far we have come while acknowledging our debt to those who paved the way for our present-day educational systems.
