EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Mrs Edwards Paragon" takes us back to the 19th century when education for women was a rare privilege. The print showcases an advertisement for Mrs Edwards Paragon, a renowned institution in Black Heath that specialized in instructing ladies in both useful attainments and elegant accomplishments. The image exudes elegance and refinement as it depicts a group of young women engaged in various educational activities. They are seen engrossed in their studies, surrounded by books, musical instruments, and art supplies. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched with precision brings this scene to life. It is fascinating to witness how this piece of printed ephemera served as an invitation into a world where women were encouraged to expand their knowledge beyond societal expectations. Mrs Edwards Paragon offered these ambitious ladies an opportunity to acquire skills that would enhance their lives both practically and artistically. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from the Peter Jackson Collection, we are reminded of the progress made since then in promoting equal access to education for all genders. This engraving not only captures the essence of Victorian-era advertising but also serves as a testament to the importance of empowering women through education.
