EDITORS COMMENTS
A Moment of Patience: Squire's Educational Pause, 1938" In this charming illustration from 1938, the local Squire takes a break from his duties, sitting atop a milestone at the roadside, engrossed in a book. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the tranquil scene, as the silhouette of the Squire's hat and the milestone's numbers stand out against the backdrop of the setting sun. The Squire's feet are adorned with Dunderpates, a popular brand of shoes during the 1930s, adding an authentic touch to the scene. Meanwhile, his coach, pulled by two horses, is seen in the distance, with Dunderpate and Susan riding inside. The children, dressed in 1930s attire, play and explore the grassy verge nearby, their curious eyes fixed on the Squire. The scene exudes a sense of peace and nostalgia, as the Squire takes a moment to focus on his education, emphasizing the importance of lifelong learning. The illustration captures the essence of the 1930s, with its attention to detail, from the Squire's traditional hat to the boys' pockets filled with treasures. The milestone, a common sight along old English roads, serves as a reminder of the passage of time and the enduring traditions that define rural life. This image, with its timeless appeal and rich detail, invites us to reflect on the simple pleasures of a bygone era and the importance of taking a moment to learn and grow, no matter where we are or what we are doing.
