EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Letter M: Swift, c.1920 transports us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the world of children's education and play in early 20th century France. The image is part of "The alphabet of Mimi" illustrations by J.M. Porta, showcasing an engraving that depicts the letter M in a unique and intriguing way. In this scene, we see a child sitting inside a cradle or crib, surrounded by plush toys and dolls. The atmosphere seems playful at first glance, but upon closer inspection, one can sense an air of severity and rigour. Perhaps the child is being punished or corrected for misbehaving - a common practice in those times. The use of corporal punishment as a form of discipline was sanctioned in many European countries during this period, reflecting the strict parenting styles prevalent at the time. This image serves as a reminder of how childhood experiences have evolved over the years, shedding light on cultural norms and practices from decades past. Through this thought-provoking print, we are invited to reflect on our own perceptions of childhood and upbringing while appreciating the historical context captured within its frame. It stands as both an educational tool and a piece of art that sparks curiosity about life in early 20th century Europe.
