EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Twelve Ages of Man: February" takes us back to the 16th century and offers a glimpse into the educational practices of that time. The image, part of a series representing the twelve ages of man, showcases an important aspect of schooling in February. In this scene, we witness a schoolmaster administering corporal punishment to two young boys. The severity is evident as he beats them with what appears to be a wooden stick or rod. Their exposed backsides and pained expressions reveal the harsh reality they endure in pursuit of knowledge. This print serves as a reminder of how education has evolved over centuries. It sheds light on the disciplinary methods employed in schools during this era, highlighting the stark contrast with modern-day approaches. Originally printed by Thielman Kerver in Paris in 1522, these woodcuts were later reproduced by Yolande Bonhomme after her husband's passing. This particular edition was published in 1923 as part of A Calendar for the Year containing twelve plates representing each age. "The Twelve Ages of Man: February" not only captures an important historical moment but also prompts reflection on our own educational systems and how far we have come since then.
