EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming colour sketch, entitled "Our former school room, with the drawing room visible through double doors," was created by Henrietta Grace Baden Powell (nee Smyth) in 1843. The scene takes place in a gracious house in Bedford, England, where Henrietta raised her children, including her future husband, Captain Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scout Movement. In the foreground, we see a cozy school room filled with children seated at a long table, engaged in their studies. The room is adorned with comfortable chairs and a warm fireplace, suggesting a nurturing and inviting learning environment. The children appear focused and attentive, no doubt under the watchful eye of their dedicated teacher, Captain Ruddick. Through the double doors in the background, we catch a glimpse of a drawing room, where a sense of relaxation and comfort prevails. The room is furnished with elegant chairs, a grand fireplace, and a beautifully decorated table. The contrast between the school room and the drawing room highlights the balance between work and play, education and leisure, in the daily life of this Victorian household. Henrietta's skillful brushstrokes bring to life the warmth and charm of this scene, transporting us back to the 1840s and offering a glimpse into the domestic life of a middle-class family during this era. This sketch is a testament to the importance of education, the comforts of home, and the enduring bond between a mother and her children.
