This print titled "Duties towards oneself: the body. Work and laziness, 1919" depicts a thought-provoking engraving by G. Dascher from the 19th century. The artwork is part of a private collection and showcases an illustration found in "The unique book of morality and civic instruction". In this particular engraving, we witness contrasting scenes that explore the concepts of work and laziness. The laborious individual is portrayed diligently engaged in their tasks, while the lazy counterpart lounges idly nearby. This visual representation serves as a reminder of our responsibilities towards ourselves, specifically regarding our bodies. Originally published in 1919 as an educational resource for students at various levels, this piece emphasizes important values such as hard work and discipline. It was created under the guidance of A. Miglet (Primary Inspector Officer of Public Instruction) and H. Bernat (Teacher), following instructions provided by the Inspectorate-General on moral education. The intricate drawings by G. Dascher bring these ideas to life through detailed imagery, expertly engraved by Bordier. As we observe this scene unfold within a school setting, it becomes evident that these lessons are intended to shape young minds during their formative years. Overall, this fascinating print captures not only historical significance but also highlights timeless principles that continue to resonate today – reminding us all about the importance of diligence and responsibility towards ourselves and our bodies.
