EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of "S for Surprise, 1908" captures a moment of pure amazement and wonder. The image is part of a series by Henri Manuel, published in the early 20th century as an innovative method to teach children how to read. In this particular photograph, a young child dressed in traditional attire looks at an open book with wide eyes and a look of surprise on their face. The vibrant colors and detailed composition draw the viewer into the scene, making us feel like we are right there with the child experiencing the same sense of awe. The egg-shaped illustration next to the letter "S" adds an element of whimsy and curiosity to the overall image. As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we can't help but be reminded of the universal joy that comes from learning something new. The innocence and excitement radiating from the child's expression serve as a timeless reminder that discovery is truly one of life's greatest pleasures. This print is not just a piece of art; it is a window into history and a celebration of education, imagination, and the power of surprise.
