Kitten at School
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a charming and whimsical illustration by the talented British artist, George Henry Thompson (1859-1959). Thompson was known for his humorous depictions of animals, and this image of a kitten in a school setting is no exception. In this delightful scene, a young kitten sits at a small wooden desk, wearing a red knitted sweater and a blue bow in its hair. Its curious expression and wide-open eyes convey a sense of excitement and eagerness to learn. Surrounding the kitten are various school supplies, including a slate, pencil, and inkwell, all miniaturized to fit the size of its tiny paws. The classroom setting is filled with anthropomorphic elements, as the chalkboard at the front of the room displays the words "Lesson in Arithmetic," and a mouse teacher stands at the chalkboard, wearing a red apron and holding a ruler. The other students in the class are also animals, including a rabbit, a hedgehog, and a squirrel, all intently focused on their studies. Thompson's use of color and detail in "Kitten at School" adds to the playful and imaginative nature of the illustration. The warm tones of the kitten's sweater and the soft shades of the classroom create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The intricate details of the students' clothing and the textures of the classroom furniture add depth and character to the scene. This illustration was published in books and postcards by Ernest Nister around 1904, and it remains a beloved example of Thompson's humorous and anthropomorphic animal art. "Kitten at School" is a timeless and endearing image that continues to captivate audiences with its charm and whimsy.
