Children Coming Out of School - A Delightful Scene from Victorian England, 1879
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting illustration, published in 1879, captures the essence of childhood innocence and the joy of playtime in Victorian England. The image, titled "Children Coming Out of School," was created by the renowned English illustrator, Kate Greenaway. The scene unfolds on a picturesque path leading from a quaint, red-brick schoolhouse to a lush, green village. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, eagerly exit the school, their faces reflecting the excitement and anticipation of the playtime that awaits them. The girls, adorned with ribbons and bonnets, skip along the path, while the boys, clad in short trousers and blazers, chase one another, their laughter ringing through the air. Through the window of the schoolhouse, we catch a glimpse of a teacher, likely Miss Greenaway herself, waving goodbye to her students. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, highlighting the vibrant colors of the children's clothing and the verdant hues of the grass and trees. This illustration, which first appeared in a primary school reader, offers a charming glimpse into the past, transporting us to a simpler time when the joys of play and the pursuit of knowledge went hand in hand. The image is a testament to the enduring power of education and the boundless energy and curiosity of children. Mary Evans Picture Library, a leading provider of historical images, offers this beautiful illustration for research and educational purposes. It is a treasure trove for those interested in the history of education, Victorian England, and the works of Kate Greenaway. This image is a must-have for any collection that seeks to explore the rich tapestry of childhood experiences and the transformative power of education.
