EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time - a natural history class in a primary school, Orme. The image takes us back to the early 20th century, where young pupils eagerly gather around their teacher for an extraordinary lesson - the dissection of a rabbit. The classroom is filled with anticipation as boys and girls sit attentively at their desks, ready to delve into the wonders of biology. The teacher stands proudly at the front, holding up the lifeless rabbit as a visual aid for his students' education. A large blackboard looms behind him, covered in chalked diagrams that further enhance the learning experience. In this snapshot of educational history, we witness not only the teaching methods employed during that era but also glimpse into society's fascination with vivisection and animal anatomy. It serves as a reminder of how far our understanding has come since then. The children's expressions are mixed; some display curiosity while others may feel slightly uneasy about witnessing such an intimate examination of nature. Nevertheless, this photograph encapsulates both innocence and knowledge-seeking within its frame. Preserved by French photographer Bridgeman Images and housed in Musee National de l'Education in Rouen, France, this remarkable piece offers us insight into past educational practices while igniting contemplation on how far we have progressed today.
