EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Perils of the Illiterate; After Sketches by Miss Emily Lees, 1888" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century Britain. Created by an unknown artist and featured in The Graphic, an Illustrated Weekly Newspaper Volume from July to December 1888, this image captures a moment filled with curiosity and danger. In this vibrant illustration, we see two young girls exploring their home. One girl stands on a chair while her sister peers into a cupboard with wide-eyed wonder. Their innocent faces reveal their inquisitive nature as they embark on an adventure fueled by mischief and childhood curiosity. The color palette adds depth to the scene, highlighting the warmth of family life during this era. However, hidden within this charming portrait lies a cautionary tale - "Perils of the Illiterate". It serves as a reminder that without proper education or literacy skills, even simple acts can lead to unforeseen accidents. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; capturing not only the essence of these children but also conveying a larger societal message about the importance of education for all. This thought-provoking image invites viewers to reflect upon how illiteracy can pose risks and hinder personal growth. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded that behind every piece of art lies untold stories waiting to be discovered – stories that transcend time and connect us with our shared human experiences.
