EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing late 19th-century print titled "The unclean. Lazy and dirty child. Little boys alphabet" we are transported back in time to witness a unique educational tool from the French School. The image showcases an abecedary, or alphabet book, with moral value that contains reading exercises for young children. The photograph captures the essence of childhood innocence and mischief as it portrays a young boy who appears unkempt, lazy, and dirty. His disheveled appearance serves as a stark reminder of the importance of personal hygiene and discipline. The Epinal imaging technique used in this piece adds depth to the scene, immersing us in its historical context. It is fascinating to observe how such visual aids were employed to teach important life lessons during that era. This artwork by Jean Duvallon invites contemplation on various themes such as capital sins, laziness, youthfulness, and even stupidity. It prompts us to reflect on societal values and norms surrounding education at that time. As we gaze upon this print from a private collection, we cannot help but marvel at its ability to transport us through time while reminding us of timeless virtues like cleanliness and diligence. This photograph truly encapsulates both the charm of childhood curiosity and the power of visual storytelling within educational settings.
