EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Work at home (homework, reading and domestic work)" is a snapshot into the daily life of children in the early 20th century. The print comes from an album series called "Imagier de l'enfance" which was designed for use in nursery schools and primary education. In this particular scene, we see a child diligently engaged in various activities within the comfort of their home. Seated on a single chair, they are surrounded by furniture that exudes warmth and coziness. The child's focus is divided between doing homework, reading a book, and participating in domestic chores. The image beautifully captures the essence of childhood innocence as well as the importance placed on education and responsibility during that time period. It serves as a reminder of how different childhood experiences were compared to today's fast-paced digital age. The artist behind this enchanting engraving is Ferdinand Raffin, whose illustrations bring life to each page of "Imagier de l'enfance". Raffin's attention to detail shines through his depiction of not only the child but also their surroundings. This print offers us a glimpse into history while evoking feelings of nostalgia for simpler times. It reminds us that even though times may change, certain values such as hard work and learning remain timeless.
