EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Compulsory education, 1882" takes us back in time to a significant era in educational history. The colour lithograph, created by Henry Jules Jean Geoffroy and housed at the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, beautifully captures the essence of state-mandated education during this period. In this scene, we witness a classroom setting where both boys and girls are being instructed by their stern schoolteacher. The image portrays an atmosphere of discipline as one mischievous boy is reprimanded for his lack of focus or effort. With a firm grip on his earlobe, the teacher pulls him forward while he resists with reluctance. The composition not only highlights the importance placed on primary education but also sheds light on societal expectations surrounding academic achievement. It serves as a reminder that compulsory schooling was introduced to ensure every child had access to knowledge and learning opportunities regardless of gender or social background. Through this artwork's vivid colors and attention to detail, we can almost hear the whispers of children studying diligently amidst occasional moments of mischief. This historical gem provides us with a glimpse into the past while emphasizing how far our educational systems have evolved since then.
