EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cover of an intriguing 19th-century book titled "The Alphabet of Little Boys". The French School's Epinal imaging technique beautifully captures the essence of this educational piece. The title itself, "Who does not want to learn to read is put to dry bread and clear water" immediately piques curiosity. This abecedary holds significant moral value as it incorporates reading exercises within its pages. It serves as a reminder that learning to read is essential and should not be taken for granted. The severity of punishment depicted on the cover suggests that education was highly valued during this period. The image features a young boy sitting at a table with a towel draped over it, symbolizing childhood innocence. However, his angry expression hints at his frustration or resistance towards learning. This portrayal emphasizes the importance placed on education in France during that time. Additionally, the presence of capital sins surrounding the boy further underscores the moral message conveyed by this abecedary. It serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences one may face if they neglect their education. Overall, this photograph evokes various emotions such as anger, rage, and even stupidity when considering the potential consequences of refusing to learn. It stands as both an artistic representation and historical artifact from Jean Duvallon's collection – offering us insight into 19th-century French education practices and societal values surrounding knowledge acquisition among children.
