EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, titled "The First Lesson - Victorian Period," is a breathtaking glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an Edwardian-era schoolroom in Scotland. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a young boy in full Scottish attire, including a kilt, knee socks, and a tartan sash, as he receives his first lesson from a stern-looking teacher. The teacher, dressed in the traditional Victorian garb of a long, dark skirt, high collar, and lace cuffs, holds a lantern slide projector, ready to educate her student. The lantern slide, a popular teaching aid during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, projects an image of a bagpipe onto the white screen at the front of the classroom. The boy's expression is one of rapt attention, his eyes fixed on the image of the Scottish piper. The croft, or rural farmstead, setting of the schoolroom adds to the authenticity of the scene, with its simple wooden desks, peeling wallpaper, and rustic decor. This photograph is a precious reminder of the early days of education and the enduring influence of Scottish culture on the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
