EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a European school scene from the 17th century, providing a glimpse into the educational practices of that era. Created in 1803 by David Deuchar, this engraving showcases various aspects of a classroom setting during this time period. In the foreground, we see a tutor standing on a pulpit, sternly wielding a wooden spoon to discipline an unruly child. This depiction highlights the strict disciplinary methods employed in schools back then. Meanwhile, another child sits confined within stocks as punishment for their misbehavior. Amidst these scenes of discipline and control, other students are diligently engaged in their studies. Some sit at tables writing with quills while others engage in conversation or assist each other with their work. The image also includes both boys and girls, emphasizing that education was not limited to one gender. The intricate copperplate engraving technique used by Deuchar adds depth and detail to every element of this composition. It is worth noting that this artwork is part of A Collection of Etchings after the most Eminent Masters of the Dutch and Flemish Schools published in Edinburgh. Through this remarkable piece, viewers can gain insight into schooling practices from centuries ago and appreciate how far education has evolved since then.
