EDITORS COMMENTS
This drawing by Honore Daumier captures a whimsical moment in a classroom setting, where a schoolmaster has stumbled upon a hidden novel in the dictionary of one of his students. The expression on the teacher's face is one of surprise and intrigue, as he uncovers this unexpected discovery. The scene is filled with subtle humor and irony, as the student has cleverly concealed their leisure reading within the pages of an educational tool. Daumier's attention to detail and ability to capture human emotion shines through in this piece, making it both visually engaging and thought-provoking. The board from the series "Teachers and Mustards" showcases Daumier's talent for satirical commentary on society and education during his time. Through his art, he sheds light on the complexities of teaching and learning, while also adding a touch of humor to everyday situations. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to 1846 when it was created, yet its themes remain relevant today. Education is not just about textbooks and exams; it is also about curiosity, creativity, and exploration. This drawing serves as a reminder that sometimes the most valuable lessons can be found in unexpected places - even within the pages of a dictionary.
