EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white woodcut print, titled "A child is taught to read with a Horn Book" takes us back in time to the 16th century. The image showcases a young pupil engrossed in his learning, while his teacher guides him through the intricacies of reading using a hornbook. Published in Andrew W. Tuer's "History of the Horn Book" in London, 1895, this artwork offers us a glimpse into the educational practices of that era. Hornbooks were widely used as learning aids between the 16th and 18th centuries. They consisted of a wooden paddle holding a sheet of parchment or paper containing alphabets, prayers, or other basic texts covered by transparent horn for protection. This particular scene captures the essence of an old-fashioned classroom setting, where students would sit attentively while their teachers imparted knowledge. The print beautifully portrays not only the process of education but also highlights its significance during this period. It symbolizes how vital literacy was even then and serves as a reminder that education has always been valued throughout history. As we observe this historical artwork from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, it allows us to reflect on how far we have come in terms of teaching methods and educational resources over time. It reminds us that every generation builds upon the foundations laid by those who came before them – shaping our collective journey towards enlightenment and progress.
