EDITORS COMMENTS
The print of "Work is the great benefactor of mankind", 1918, captures a glimpse into Mathilde Dutranoy's notebook from May to July of that year. The illustrated cover adorned with delicate nasturtiums serves as a reminder of the importance of education and learning for young minds. The notebook, measuring 22.5 x 17 cm, was a tool for schoolchildren to practice their writing and expand their knowledge. In the early twentieth century, such notebooks were essential school supplies for students in France and across Europe. They provided a platform for creativity and growth, allowing children to express themselves through words and illustrations. The inscription on the cover, "For our little designers," speaks to the encouragement and support given to young learners during this time. It highlights the belief that education is key to unlocking opportunities and improving society as a whole. As we reflect on this piece of history captured in a single photograph, we are reminded of the timeless value of education and hard work in shaping future generations. Mathilde Dutranoy's notebook stands as a testament to the enduring power of learning as the great benefactor of mankind.
