EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history at Battersea Polytechnic, London, in 1907. In this cookery lesson, a student teacher is seen instructing children under careful supervision. The image showcases the importance of education and domestic skills during the early 20th century. The setting is an avenue on Battersea Park Road, where the polytechnic was located. The kitchen equipment and utensils used by these young learners reflect the simplicity of that era. This photograph offers a metaphor for nurturing domestic bliss through education. The lady student teacher stands confidently amidst her eager pupils, embodying the progressive role women were beginning to play in society's educational institutions. Her presence symbolizes empowerment and highlights how women were breaking barriers even then. Preserved by the Greater London Council's photograph library at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this historical gem reminds us of our rich heritage in teaching methods and learning environments. It also serves as a reminder of how far we have come since those times. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from over a century ago, it sparks curiosity about each individual captured within its frame - their hopes, dreams, and aspirations for both themselves and future generations.
