EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorful lithograph print titled "Commands: Walk to the door and close it" captures a moment from a mid-20th century English school classroom. The image is part of the Commands Picture Book, No 5, published by E J Arnold around 1950. In this illustration, we see a simple yet important instruction being carried out by a student - walking to the door and closing it.
The artwork exudes a sense of discipline and obedience, typical of educational settings during that era. The emphasis on following instructions reflects the structured approach to learning prevalent in schools at the time. The vibrant colors used in the lithograph add an element of visual interest to what might otherwise be considered a mundane task.
As we delve into this snapshot of history through art, we are reminded of the cultural norms and values that shaped education in post-war Britain. The image serves as a window into the past, offering us insights into how children were taught basic commands and expected to adhere to rules within the classroom environment.
Overall, this print not only showcases artistic talent but also provides valuable historical context about schooling practices in England during the mid-20th century. It is a fascinating glimpse into an era gone by, preserved for us to appreciate and reflect upon today.
