EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and amusing print captures the essence of Mr Switch The Schoolmaster, a character from the late 19th-century card game called Cheery Families. Created by an English School artist, this colour lithograph showcases the humorous caricatures and playful nature of the game. In this image, we see Mr Switch, a fierce Victorian schoolmaster, sitting at his desk in a bustling classroom. Surrounded by mischievous boys who are engaged in various trades and occupations, he exudes authority with his stern expression. The cartoon-like portrayal adds to the light-heartedness of the scene. The setting is reminiscent of a parlour where children gather to play games. It perfectly encapsulates the era's emphasis on education and discipline while infusing it with humor and entertainment. As each player takes their turn during this cheerful game, laughter fills the room as they navigate through different professions represented by these charming characters. This print not only offers a glimpse into Victorian-era schooling but also serves as a reminder of how games can bring joy and amusement to our lives. With its vivid colors and delightful composition, it is sure to add cheerfulness to any space it graces.
