EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a piece of history in the form of a homework book from 1927. The writing and geography map within belong to Antoinette Biron, an 11 ½-year-old student in the second middle class. The cover features the Propatria brand and an engraving depicting Vercingetorix on horseback jumping over a Roman soldier, symbolizing resistance against colonization.
The notebook spans from July 2nd to July 28th, providing a glimpse into the educational practices of the early twentieth century. The meticulous measurements of 22.5 x 17.5 cm showcase the care put into this school supply.
The vibrant colors and intricate details highlight the importance placed on education during this time period. As Antoinette diligently completes her assignments, she is unknowingly creating a historical artifact that now serves as a window into past learning methods.
This image not only represents academic pursuits but also reflects the colonial influences present in French territories at that time. It is a reminder of how education has evolved over generations while also shedding light on societal norms and values prevalent in Europe during the mid-20th century.
Overall, this print is more than just a visual representation; it is a testament to resilience, knowledge acquisition, and cultural exchange encapsulated within one small notebook from decades ago.
