EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cutting the tongue of a shrew" captures a humorous and slightly mischievous moment from early 20th-century school life. The colour lithograph, created by an anonymous English School artist, showcases a scene where a woman is playfully cutting the tongue of a shrew with scissors. The image exudes both amusement and sharp criticism as it humorously addresses the concept of nagging or incessant talking. With its clever use of visual metaphor, this postcard-like artwork conveys the idea that words can sometimes be bitter and painful when used in excess. The woman's mischievous expression adds to the playful tone of the image, suggesting that this act may be seen as a lighthearted joke rather than something malicious. It invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences with language and how it can impact relationships and interactions. As an educational tool, this postcard serves as a reminder that teaching moments can come in unexpected forms. By employing humor and wit, it encourages students to engage with lessons in unconventional ways while still imparting important messages about communication. Overall, this delightful print offers an amusing glimpse into school life while reminding us all to choose our words wisely – even when dealing with pesky shrews!
