EDUCATION
Education was widely accessible to those who
could afford it, so youth interpreters frequently
depict educational activities such as practicing
letters on slate boards, reading 18th-century
children’s books and assembling puzzles. Sewing
was a important part of a young lady’s education, so
girls sit by the window working on samplers,
mending clothing, or perhaps making doll clothes.
