EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration is taken from Lily Watson's book, "A Child of Genius," published in 1896. The image shows a young girl named Katharine, dressed in a white blouse and plaid skirt, presenting a drawing mistress, Miss Percival, with a plate of cakes and a jug of milk. Miss Percival, dressed in a dark gown and apron, graciously accepts the offering with a smile and the words, "O, thank you, it is very kind!" The scene takes place in a school setting, with a glass case displaying assorted drawings and paintings in the background. The warm and inviting atmosphere of the illustration conveys the sense of camaraderie and appreciation between the teacher and her student. The use of natural light filtering in through the window adds to the overall charm and nostalgia of the image. This historical illustration offers a glimpse into the past, providing a glimpse into the daily life of a schoolgirl in the late 19th century. The simple pleasure of sharing a treat with a loved one, as depicted in this illustration, remains a universal experience that transcends time.
