A Lesson Arranged by the Enemy - The Higher Education
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a satirical cartoon by British illustrator and humorist, H.M. Bateman, published in 1916 during the height of World War I. The image captures a bleary-eyed schoolmaster standing at the foot of a bed, awakening his surprised and groggy students with a cry of "Up and at 'em, my lads! Quick, quick!" The reason for their sudden awakening is revealed in the night sky outside their window, where a massive zeppelin or airship looms ominously, casting an eerie glow over the scene. The title of the cartoon plays on the double meaning of the term "higher education," with the war bringing a new and unwelcome form of learning to the students in the form of air raids and bombings from the German zeppelins. The image is a poignant reminder of the disruption and chaos caused by the war, which reached the home front in the form of aerial bombardments. The cartoon also highlights the resilience and adaptability of the British people, as the schoolmaster, despite the late hour and the fearsome sight of the zeppelin, remains determined to carry on with his duties and ensure his students are prepared for the unexpected. The students, though initially disgruntled, quickly pull themselves together and follow their teacher outside to observe the zeppelin, their curiosity and fascination outweighing their initial reluctance. This powerful and evocative image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the British people during the First World War, and the ways in which they coped with the challenges and uncertainties of the time. It is a poignant reminder of the impact of war on civilians and the unexpected lessons they were forced to learn.
