EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, shedding light on a dark aspect of Victorian society - bullying. Depicting two English public school bullies tormenting their classmate, it serves as a stark reminder that this issue is not new but has plagued generations past. The image showcases the cruelty and aggression prevalent among upper-class adolescence during that era. The monochrome line art adds depth to the scene, emphasizing the pain and grief inflicted upon the helpless victim. One bully restrains him while another uses a red hot poker to decorate his box, symbolizing both physical and emotional violence. Through this illustration by George Cruikshank from Frank E Smedley's "Frank Fairlegh" we witness communication difficulties and relationship problems faced by teenage boys in traditional clothing. It offers an insight into the harsh realities of education and social hierarchies within British culture at that time. Despite its sepia-toned appearance, this print evokes strong emotions even today. It serves as a powerful reminder of how far we have come in addressing issues related to childhood violence and emphasizes our responsibility to create safe environments for future generations. In this old photograph lies an important message - let us learn from history's mistakes so that we may build a more compassionate world for all children.
