Victorian Schoolbook - picture 1
circa 1845: A page from a mid nineteenth-century children's textbook with hand-tinted illustrations of a group of boys doing homework. Each row of pictures is accompanied by a set of questions concentrating on simple arithmetic, but also asking such questions as 'Of what use is it to spin ?' and 'Why is the blind girl led by his sister ?'.
