EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Prize to Remember: A Bookplate from the Victoria Street Sunday School, Derby, 1901" This image showcases a bookplate, intricately designed and handcrafted, taken from The Ice Desert by Jules Verne. The bookplate was presented as a reward to Alfred Watson for his regular attendance and good conduct at the Victoria Street Sunday School in Derby, England, during the year 1901. The bookplate, signed by R. Richardson, the superintendant of the school, is a testament to the importance of education during the Edwardian era. The image of The Ice Desert by Jules Verne, a renowned French author, adds an element of adventure and excitement to the prize. The bookplate, with its ornate design and handwritten inscription, is a beautiful example of the craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent during this period. The intricate design includes a border of intertwining vines, a central image of a polar bear standing on an iceberg, and the title of the book, "The Ice Desert," written in elegant script. The presentation of this bookplate to Alfred Watson would have been a source of pride and motivation for him, encouraging him to continue his education and instilling in him a love for literature. The image of The Ice Desert would have sparked his imagination, transporting him to far-off lands and adventures, making his learning experience all the more engaging and memorable. This bookplate is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering insights into the educational practices and values of the early 20th century. It serves as a reminder of the importance of regular attendance, good conduct, and the power of literature to inspire and educate.
