Victorian teachers chairing a colleague
A group of Victorian English public school teachers chairing (carrying) one of their number - a older man, possibly the headmaster - on their shoulders. He is holding a document in his hand which is probably the cause of the celebrations. From Frank Fairlegh, or Scenes from the Life of A Private Pupila by Frank E Smedley (1818-1864) with illustrations by George Cruikshank. Published in 1850 by A Hall, Virtue & Co

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to the 19th century, where a group of Victorian English public school teachers joyously chair one of their esteemed colleagues. This older man, possibly the headmaster, is held high on their shoulders as they celebrate an occasion that seems to be marked by a document he holds in his hand. The scene exudes camaraderie and unity among these upper-class gentlemen dressed in traditional clothing. Their laughter-filled faces and animated gestures reveal their excitement and surprise at this momentous event. As they enter a domestic room within the school building, their actions speak volumes about the strong bond between them. This engraved image beautifully captures not only a historical snapshot but also highlights the values of friendship and togetherness prevalent during that era. The monochrome line art adds depth to the emotion-filled illustration while giving it a timeless quality. As we observe this delightful display of celebration and bonding, we can't help but feel immersed in English culture from days gone by. The print serves as a fascinating window into education practices of yesteryears while showcasing the unique dynamics between teachers in an era when men dominated academia. With its sepia-toned charm and rich history, this remarkable piece evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times while reminding us of the enduring importance of human connection within educational institutions.
