"The New Boy" is a wood engraving by George Smith, published in the "Illustrated London News" in 1859. The engraving depicts a group of children in a classroom, seemingly welcoming a new student. The scene captures the warmth and camaraderie of a typical Victorian schoolroom, with the children’s individual personalities and interactions adding a sense of realism and charm to the image. The engraving, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection, provides a glimpse into the world of 19th-century British education.
