EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in education, circa 1900. The image, part of the Boswell Collection, depicts an old man serving as a school master in a modest classroom setting. He stands before his students, four attentive pupils seated at their desks, each holding slates and chalk in hand. The master, a wise and stern figure, holds a rattan cane as a symbol of discipline and order. A lantern, likely used to provide light during lessons, hangs from the ceiling, casting an amber glow over the scene. The students' focused expressions and the master's stern gaze convey the importance and seriousness of their education. The simplicity of the classroom setting, with its bare walls and wooden desks, underscores the dedication and hard work that went into each lesson. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily lives of students and teachers during the early 20th century.
