EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "M N: Marie is a studious Nelly is lazy and dissipated" takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of education and childhood. The image measures 16.7x11 cm, showcasing two young girls who represent contrasting personalities. Marie, on the left side of the frame, exudes an air of diligence and focus. With her eyes fixed on an open book in front of her, she embodies studiousness and intellectual curiosity. Her posture suggests discipline as she sits upright with her hands neatly placed on the pages. It's evident that Marie is fully immersed in her learning journey. In stark contrast stands Nelly, positioned on the right side of the photograph. She epitomizes laziness and indulgence through her slouched posture and disinterested expression. Instead of engaging with educational materials like Marie does, Nelly appears detached from any form of intellectual pursuit or academic engagement. The image belongs to a series called "Illustrated Alphabet - Quality and Defaults" published by Pellerin & Cie in Epinal during this period. This particular snapshot captures not only letters but also character traits associated with each alphabet letter – highlighting both positive attributes like diligence (represented by Marie) as well as negative ones such as laziness (personified by Nelly). As we observe this vintage photograph today, it serves as a reminder that even in centuries past, education played a vital role in shaping individuals
