EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the daily life of a school in Han-Tong-Fou, a village in the Shanghai region. The engraving, skillfully created by Y. Pranishnikoff, beautifully illustrates the story Voyage en Chine by Doctor Piassetzky, which was published in 1874-1875 as part of the renowned Tour du monde magazine under the direction of Edouard Charton. In this scene from long ago, we see a group of Chinese students engrossed in their studies within a modest classroom setting. The young children are seated at wooden desks with books open before them, eagerly absorbing knowledge imparted by their dedicated teacher. The atmosphere exudes an air of curiosity and concentration as these bright minds delve into their lessons. The image captures not only an educational moment but also reflects on childhood and its universal pursuit for learning. It serves as a testament to the timeless value placed on education throughout history and across cultures. Preserved through time thanks to Ivan Pranishnikoff's masterful engraving technique, this remarkable piece now resides within Leonard de Selva's private collection. Its presence reminds us of our shared human experiences and invites contemplation on how education has evolved over generations while remaining an essential cornerstone for progress and enlightenment worldwide.
