Beehive Beekeeping Grammar Lecon
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lecon on passive verbs" is a fascinating glimpse into the world of education in 19th century France. Taken from the leaflet album "La grammaire en images", this circa 1850 engraving showcases a classroom scene where a young girl attentively listens to her teacher's lesson on passive verbs. The image beautifully captures the intricate details of the setting, with an old-fashioned beehive symbolizing knowledge and industry as it stands prominently in the background. The presence of an injured bee adds depth to the composition, perhaps serving as a metaphor for overcoming obstacles in learning. The French School's attention to detail is evident through their portrayal of characters - from the doctor-like figure who imparts wisdom, to students engrossed in their studies. This snapshot provides us with insight into not only grammar instruction but also societal norms and gender roles during that era. Photographed by Leonard de Selva, this timeless piece transports us back in time while reminding us of the importance of education and its impact on our lives. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, we continue to build upon past knowledge and strive for intellectual growth.
