EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ignorant girl letter I with a donkey cap" takes us back to the year 1875, when educational imagery was brought to life through Epinal imaging. The image showcases a young girl wearing a comical donkey cap, representing her ignorance. It is part of a popular series called "ABC of the little girls" which aimed to teach children their alphabet in an engaging way. The small booklet containing this wood engraving measures 205 x 150 mm and consists of eight pages. Created by an anonymous French School artist from the 19th century, this stenciled wood engraving captures the innocence and playfulness of childhood. In this particular scene, we witness the consequences of not paying attention in school. The ignorant girl cries as she holds up the letter 'I, ' symbolizing both her lack of knowledge and her punishment for not studying diligently. This artwork serves as a reminder that education is vital for personal growth and development. It also highlights the importance of engaging teaching methods that capture children's imagination while imparting knowledge. Preserved in private collection today, this historical piece offers us a glimpse into past pedagogical practices while showcasing Jean Duvallon's talent as he captured these timeless moments on film.
