EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century colour engraving titled "Parents are the Real Teachers" transports us back to a time when education was seen as a noble pursuit rooted in true idealism. Created by an anonymous French School artist, this print is housed in the Musee National de l'Education in Rouen, France. Inspired by the revolutionary ideas and philosophy of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, this artwork symbolizes the profound impact parents have on their children's education. It beautifully captures the essence of enlightenment and romanticism that characterized educational theory during this era. The image depicts a utopian scene where parents take on the role of educators, nurturing young minds with love and guidance. The child featured embodies innocence and curiosity, eagerly absorbing knowledge from their devoted parents. This engraving serves as a testament to the belief that education should be holistic and grounded in familial bonds. With its intricate details and delicate use of color, this print showcases both artistic skill and pedagogical ideals prevalent at that time. It invites viewers to reflect upon how parental influence shapes future generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from centuries past, let us remember that teaching extends far beyond classroom walls - it begins within our homes.
