EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Twelve pence make one shilling" takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of childhood and finances during that era. The image is an illustration from The Little Ones Own Coloured Picture Paper, a popular magazine published by Dean and Son in the 1890s. The scene depicts a group of children, both boys and girls, engrossed in their lesson about money. With wide-eyed curiosity, they gather around as their teacher explains the concept of twelve pence equaling one shilling. This educational moment showcases how financial literacy was imparted even at such a young age. The Victorian setting adds an air of nostalgia to this artwork. It transports us to a time when coins were tangible representations of wealth and transactions were made with careful consideration. Each child's expression reflects their eagerness to understand this fundamental aspect of life. As we admire this delightful print, it serves as a reminder that childhood innocence can coexist with practical knowledge. It also highlights the importance placed on education during this period. Preserved within private collections today, prints like these provide valuable insights into historical publications and cultural practices surrounding finance in the late 19th century.
