The Model School, 1882
The Model School, 1882. A young John Bull shows Mr William Forster his model of a Board School. In Gladstones Liberal administration of 1868-74, Mr Forster had held the post of Vice-President of the Privy Council Committee on Education. Under his aegis, the 1870 Education Act reformed the education system with the introduction of new school boards to set up schools and monitor payments from parents. However, the system was still overloaded with insufficient places for all the prospective pupils. From Punch, or the London Charivari, November 4, 1882

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of education reform. In this image from 1882, we see a young John Bull proudly presenting his model of a Board School to Mr William Forster, the former Vice-President of the Privy Council Committee on Education. During Gladstone's Liberal administration, Forster played a crucial role in implementing the 1870 Education Act, which aimed to improve and expand the education system. The cartoon-like depiction showcases John Bull as an allegorical figure representing Britain's interests. The scene highlights both the achievements and challenges faced by Forster's reforms. While the introduction of school boards and parental payments was intended to revolutionize education access, it became evident that there were still insufficient places for all prospective pupils. Edward Linley Sambourne skillfully captured this historical moment with monochrome precision, emphasizing its significance within 19th-century society. This print serves as a reminder of how legislation can shape societal progress while also shedding light on unsatisfactory aspects that require further attention. As we reflect upon this heritage image partnership between Sambourne and Unknown creator, let us appreciate their efforts in immortalizing such pivotal moments through artistry and storytelling.
