EDITORS COMMENTS
A Peek into the Past: Arithmetic Lesson, 1912 This charming image captures a moment in time as children eagerly engage in an arithmetic lesson at their schoolroom blackboard. The scene, titled 'Arithmetic,' is taken from Ride a Cock-Horse and Other Rhymes, a collection of illustrations published by Raphael Tuck in 1912. The artist behind this beautiful work is May Bowley. The children, clad in their turn-of-the-century attire, appear focused and attentive as they learn the fundamentals of counting and basic arithmetic. The teacher, standing at the front of the room, watches over them with a warm smile, her arms folded across her chest. The room is filled with natural light, pouring in through the tall windows, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere. The blackboard is adorned with numbers and equations, reflecting the progress of the lesson. The children's expressions are a mix of concentration and excitement, as they eagerly participate in the learning process. The scene is a testament to the universal nature of education and the enduring appeal of the simple joys of childhood. May Bowley's illustration offers a captivating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when learning was a communal experience, and the world was a little less complicated. This image is not only a beautiful piece of art but also a reminder of the importance of education and the joy it brings to young minds.
