EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Margaret Thomson, we are transported back to the year 1947, where a classroom becomes a hub of curiosity and exploration. The image beautifully captures the essence of children learning by experience, as they engage in an unconventional lesson with an unexpected participant - a mischievous monkey. As our eyes wander across the frame, we witness a scene filled with youthful energy and eagerness for knowledge. A group of children sits attentively at their desks, their faces illuminated with excitement and wonder. They lean forward eagerly as they observe their furry classmate perched on top of one student's desk. The monkey seems equally intrigued by its surroundings, playfully reaching out towards books and papers scattered across the room. Its presence adds an element of surprise to this ordinary school day, reminding us that education can take many forms beyond textbooks and lectures. Thomson's composition skillfully captures both the innocence of childhood and the importance of hands-on learning experiences. Through her lens, she immortalizes these precious moments when young minds absorb knowledge through direct engagement with their environment. This remarkable photograph from the British Film Institute serves as a timeless reminder that true education is not confined within four walls but thrives when nurtured through experiential teaching methods like those witnessed here in this lively classroom setting.
