EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and comical lithograph captures a humorous moment between a mischievous boy and his bad-tempered schoolmaster. The scene takes place in a traditional classroom, with rows of desks and a large blackboard displaying an old-fashioned map. The boy stands defiantly, facing the wrath of his disciplinarian teacher. The artist's skillful use of color brings this amusing exchange to life. The bright hues add to the lightheartedness of the image, while also highlighting the contrasting personalities of the characters involved. The boy's misbehavior is evident from his cheeky expression, while the schoolmaster's stern face conveys his frustration. The postcard format suggests that this print was intended for entertainment purposes, perhaps as a joke or amusement for friends or family members. It reflects an era when corporal punishment was more common in educational settings. Overall, this artwork provides a glimpse into early 20th-century education practices in Australia through its portrayal of discipline and humor within the classroom setting. It serves as both an entertaining piece and a reminder of how teaching methods have evolved over time.
