EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming chromo print from the late 19th/early 20th century captures a moment of childhood mischief and punishment. The image shows a child returning home with a donkey cap on their head and a "lazy" sign around their neck, indicating that they have been sanctioned for their behavior.
The scene is both humorous and poignant, as we see the child's sheepish expression contrasted with the playful donkey cap. The vibrant colors of the chromolithograph bring to life this snapshot of family life in France during this period.
The theme of education and discipline is evident in this image, as the child is being corrected for their actions. It serves as a reminder of the importance of instilling values and morals in children, even through methods that may seem harsh by today's standards.
Overall, this print offers a glimpse into a bygone era when corporal punishment was more widely accepted as a means of teaching children right from wrong. It also highlights the universal experience of childhood misbehavior and parental guidance that transcends time and place.
