EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful cartoon print, reminiscent of the early 20th century, captures the playful banter between a teacher and her pupils in a one-room schoolhouse during the era of World War 1. The image, circa 1915, depicts a teacher standing in front of her class, holding a map and a raised ruler, while two schoolboys, Bobby and another unnamed pupil, sit at their desks, engrossed in their work. The teacher, with a stern expression, asks Bobby, "No pencil again? What would you think of a soldier who went into battle without his gun?" Bobby, with a mischievous grin, replies, "I'd think he was an officer." The satirical humor in this print lies in the unexpected comparison between a soldier without a gun and a pupil without a pencil. The teacher's question sets the stage for a serious discussion about the importance of being prepared, but Bobby's quick wit turns the situation into a light-hearted moment. The image also highlights the resilience and adaptability of children, even in the face of adversity. The print, from the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, is a testament to the power of humor and the enduring spirit of children, even during the tumultuous times of war. The image is a great addition to any collection of satirical prints or educational memorabilia, and is sure to bring a smile to the faces of children and adults alike.
