EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned photograph captures a remarkable scene of an open-air class in Lincolns Inn Fields. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The London County Council had encouraged schools to utilize parks and open spaces, aiming to provide city children with much-needed fresh air. In this snapshot, we see schoolchildren gathered under the shade of towering trees, their desks arranged neatly on the grassy field. Engrossed in their studies, they eagerly raise their hands as the teacher stands before them at a makeshift blackboard. The atmosphere exudes both tranquility and enthusiasm for learning. The photo transports us back to an Edwardian era when education was not confined within four walls but extended beyond traditional classrooms. It showcases how innovative approaches were embraced to enhance students' educational experiences while immersing them in nature's embrace. The girls donning pinafores stand out amidst the sea of eager faces, symbolizing gender inclusivity even during those times. This photograph beautifully encapsulates the essence of outdoor education - blending knowledge acquisition with exploration and appreciation for the natural world. Preserved through time, this image from Bridgeman Images serves as a testament to progressive educational practices that sought to enrich young minds while fostering a connection with nature.
