EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful photograph, titled "Cheery Families - Mr. Switch the Schoolmaster" by Richard Doyle, captures a joyful moment in a Victorian classroom during the 1890s. The image, published by Thomas De La Rue & Co. in London, depicts a group of boys eagerly engaged in a card game with their teacher, Mr. Switch, who playfully dons a mortar board and holds a card in hand. The classroom setting is filled with a sense of warmth and camaraderie, as the boys laugh and lean in to get a better look at the card being shown. The severe demeanor of the schoolmaster is momentarily forgotten as he joins in the fun, adding to the lighthearted atmosphere. The design of the photograph is intricately detailed, with the boys dressed in their Sunday best and the classroom adorned with various educational posters and maps on the walls. This charming snapshot offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the importance of games and play in the lives of children, even within the confines of a Victorian schoolroom.
