EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a nostalgic scene of children joyfully playing in the snow within their school garden in Lyon, France. Taken between 1900 and 1910, this image showcases the architectural beauty of the school building as well as its decorative elements. Through the window, we catch a glimpse of the structure's interior, where an educational atmosphere is fostered by a dedicated teacher or schoolmaster. The focus, however, lies outside where these young students engage in various games and pastimes amidst nature's wintry embrace. The meteorological phenomenon of snow creates a magical backdrop for their playfulness. One child holds onto a puppet while others partake in outdoor games that bring smiles to their faces. Each individual exudes youthful energy and innocence against the snowy landscape dotted with trees. Their age becomes apparent through physiological aspects such as size and clothing; they are undoubtedly experiencing childhood at its purest form. As time stands still within this photograph, it represents not only a specific season but also evokes memories of winter days gone by. The vegetation surrounding them remains dormant under a blanket of snow until warmer days arrive once again. This remarkable print provides us with an intimate glimpse into early 20th-century Lyon education system - one that combines both academic learning inside classrooms and hands-on experiences outdoors. It serves as a reminder that even during simpler times, education was valued for its ability to shape young minds while fostering creativity and exploration.
