1878 Corner Mama Misbehaving Misbehaviour Stand Made
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of discipline in the late 19th century, as a young boy is made to stand in the corner of a room by his mother. Dated 1878, the image offers a glimpse into the past, when children's behavior was strictly regulated, and parents employed various methods to instill obedience and good manners. The boy, dressed in a collared shirt and short pants, looks downcast as he leans against the wall, his small feet barely touching the floor. His mother, unseen in the photograph, is likely standing nearby, watching to ensure he remains in place. The corner, with its plain, white-washed walls and simple wooden chair, serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of misbehavior. The photograph, titled "Standing in Corner," is a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between parents and children, and the importance of discipline in shaping the behavior of the next generation. This historical image, preserved in the archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, and invites us to reflect on the ways in which child-rearing practices have evolved over time.
