EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving by Robert Dowling takes us back to the humble beginnings of Sunday Schools in Hare Lane, Gloucester in the year 1780. The image depicts a scene filled with hope and determination as children gather eagerly around their dedicated teachers. The origins of Sunday Schools can be traced back to this very moment when individuals recognized the need for education and moral guidance for underprivileged children. This groundbreaking initiative aimed to provide basic literacy skills alongside religious teachings on Sundays when these young learners were free from work. Dowling's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical event to life. The expressions on the faces of both students and teachers reflect a sense of enthusiasm and curiosity. Each child is dressed modestly, highlighting the simplicity that characterized these early educational institutions. This print serves as a testament to the transformative power of education and its ability to uplift communities.
