EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming lithograph captures a scene of innocence and responsibility as children eagerly deposit their savings into the bank. The image, created by Thomas Somerfield in the early 20th century, is part of a series illustrating the "Wonders of the Post" related by Edith Robarts.
In an era where communication was primarily done through letters and parcels sent via post, teaching children about financial literacy and saving money was essential. The illustration showcases the importance of instilling good money habits from a young age.
The children depicted in the print are filled with excitement and pride as they contribute to their savings accounts. Their faces reflect determination and hope for a brighter future ahead. It serves as a reminder that even small contributions can lead to significant growth over time.
As we look back on this snapshot of history, we are reminded of simpler times when values such as thriftiness and diligence were highly valued. This image not only captures a moment in time but also conveys timeless lessons about financial responsibility that remain relevant today.
