EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph titled "Things every child should know before he goes to school" takes us back in time to the mid-20th century. The print, part of a private collection, showcases a page from "The Modern Woman's Medical Guide" published by Odhams around 1949. In this educational illustration, we see an adorable young girl surrounded by various objects that symbolize important knowledge for children entering school. She stands confidently, dressed in a charming outfit typical of the era. With coins in her hands, she learns about currency and counting while also mastering how to dress and undress independently. The image emphasizes the significance of basic skills such as counting on fingers and toes or putting on shoes and socks correctly. It highlights the importance of health education for both girls and boys during their formative years. As we gaze at this historical artwork, it reminds us of the timeless value placed on equipping children with essential knowledge before embarking on their academic journey. This lithograph serves as a reminder that education encompasses not only intellectual growth but also practical life skills necessary for independence. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece from our past, allowing us to appreciate its historical context while reflecting on how far education has come since then.
