EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the revered figure of St. Charlemagne, the patron saint of school children, in all his glory. Taken from Le Petit Journal Illustre in 1892, this coloured engraving by the French School captures the essence of this beloved saint. Intricately detailed and beautifully colored, this image depicts St. Charlemagne holding a sword and cup while wearing a majestic crown and cloak. His long beard adds to his wise and authoritative presence, symbolizing his role as a protector and guide for young students. Surrounded by a group of attentive schoolboys in their classroom setting, St. Charlemagne raises his glass in a toast towards education. The boys reciprocate with raised glasses of their own, acknowledging the importance of knowledge and learning that he represents. The atmosphere is one of celebration on this special feast day dedicated to St. Charlemagne's honor. The illustration exudes an aura of inspiration and reverence as these young minds are encouraged to embrace their studies under the watchful eye of their patron saint. This enchanting print serves as a reminder that education is not only about acquiring knowledge but also about fostering character development and spiritual growth among children. It encapsulates the timeless message that through education, we can empower future generations to reach new heights while honoring those who have paved the way before us.
