EDITORS COMMENTS
The enchanting engraving titled ""You can have my parding, and welcome, miss"" captures a delightful scene from the 19th century. The image showcases a classroom filled with young boys dressed in their finest attire, eagerly awaiting the arrival of a lady. Their faces are beaming with anticipation as they prepare to extend their utmost courtesy. In this charming portrayal of etiquette and manners, we witness the moment when one young boy gallantly offers his "parding" (a playful variation of "pardon") to the arriving lady. His gesture is met with warmth and appreciation as she graciously accepts his kind words. The artist masterfully depicts not only the clothing styles prevalent during that era but also highlights the importance placed on proper behavior and respect for others. The division between genders is evident in both dress and seating arrangements, reflecting societal norms of that time. This print originally appeared as an illustration for Chatterbox magazine in 1899, capturing a nostalgic glimpse into Victorian-era education and social interactions. It serves as a reminder of how politeness was once cherished and valued within society. With its intricate details and historical significance, this artwork by English School evokes feelings of nostalgia while celebrating timeless values such as courtesy, kindness, and chivalry.
