EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and playful lithograph, titled "Mathematics, 1936" captures the essence of a bygone era. Created by Rene Bull in the early 20th century, this artwork was part of a series of humorous cigarette cards known as Howlers. Produced for Churchman's, these cards were intended to entertain and amuse their audience. In this particular print, we are transported to a classroom setting where a schoolmaster is attempting to teach mathematics to his young pupils. The scene is filled with whimsical details that add charm and character to the composition. A mischievous boy sits at his desk wearing a mortar board while holding an algebra book upside down - clearly struggling with the subject matter. The teacher stands at the front of the class, pointing towards a map on one side and wielding a cane on the other. Behind him, a blackboard displays various mathematical equations and diagrams in colorful chalk. This image evokes nostalgia for vintage education methods and reminds us of simpler times when learning was often accompanied by humor. Bull's use of color brings vibrancy to every element within the print, enhancing its overall appeal. This delightful piece serves as both an advertisement for Churchman's cigarettes and as an amusing snapshot into educational practices from decades past.
