DSC01770 Gamage's Brainstorm The Dunce adj
The theme of the BCD Meeting in Nov 2019 was Children at Play.
The small mid-blue Gamages Brainstorm box is the packaging for the tiny jigsaw 'The Dunce', part of a jigsaw games set (probably of 4). It is cut in push-fit style and shows a young would be teacher with her dolly pupils making an example of her dog who is wearing a dunce's cap.
The image has a similar theme to Briton Riviere's painting, Compulsory Education or Naughty Boy, dated 1909, which shows a small girl forcing her outsized dog to read her book. There is a photo showing two examples of jigsaws using the image later in the album.
