EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Boarding School Games from the 14th Century: A Test of Balance and Agility 2. Description: This handcoloured lithograph, created by Joseph Strutt in 1876, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of boarding school games during the 14th century. The image showcases three distinct activities that were likely part of the daily routine for young boys during this era. 3. Analysis: In the foreground, a boy precariously balances on a round pole, attempting to light a taper at the end without losing his footing and falling into the tub below. The pole, which appears to be set on a pivot, adds an extra layer of challenge to the task. This game, known as "Pole and Taper," required a great deal of focus, balance, and coordination. 4. Background: Moving to the left, we see another boy in a similar predicament, but instead of a pole, he is seated on the edge of a tub, with his legs tucked under him. His objective is to dip his head into the water without falling in. This game, referred to as "Dipping the Head," was a test of both balance and quick reflexes. 5. Cultural Significance: The image also provides a glimpse into the educational practices of the time. Boarding schools were common during the Middle Ages, and physical activities like these were an integral part of the curriculum. They served not only to promote health and fitness but also to foster camaraderie and teamwork among the students. 6. Conclusion: This illustration offers a unique window into the past, allowing us to witness the challenges and joys of boarding school life during the 14th century. The boys in the image, with their determined expressions and focused demeanor, remind us of the enduring spirit of youth and the importance of balance, agility, and perseverance.
