EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Two schoolboys mocking a new boy" captures a poignant moment in the lives of children attending a secondary school in the 20th century. The print showcases an English School's satirical drawing that perfectly encapsulates the dynamics of childhood and the harsh realities of social hierarchies. In this scene, two mischievous boys are seen taunting a newcomer to their school. Their derisive laughter echoes through the park where this encounter takes place. The artist skillfully portrays the emotions on each child's face – from smug satisfaction to embarrassment and hurt. The illustration was originally featured in The Boys Own Annual, published by Boys Own Paper Office in London back in 1912. Ernest Blackley is credited with creating this thought-provoking piece that continues to resonate even today. Through its scathing satire, this lithograph sheds light on themes such as bullying, peer pressure, and exclusion within educational institutions. It serves as a reminder of how crucial it is for society to address these issues and foster empathy among young individuals. As we gaze upon this powerful image from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of both the timeless nature of childhood experiences and our responsibility to create inclusive environments for all students.
