EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print titled "Some Diseases Common to School-Children" offers a vivid depiction of the health challenges faced by young students in the early 20th century. Taken by an English photographer, this image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in The Teachers Encyclopaedia edited by A. P. Laurie in 1911. The colourful composition showcases various ailments that were prevalent among school children during that time period. From herpes zoster to ringworm, measles to enteric fever, and even chicken pox to scarlet fever, these diseases are visually represented on the faces and scalps of innocent youngsters. The presence of a teacher suggests the educational context within which these illnesses spread. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of public health measures and hygiene practices in schools. It highlights how contagious diseases can easily affect children's well-being and disrupt their education. By capturing such afflictions through photography, it emphasizes the need for awareness and prevention strategies within educational institutions. Through its historical significance, this image sheds light on past medical knowledge regarding common childhood illnesses while also serving as a cautionary tale for present-day educators and parents alike. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder's collection ensures that this thought-provoking piece continues to educate viewers about the impact of diseases on schoolchildren throughout history.
