Notes on forum pic: from the 1942 American comedy-drama A Yank at Eton. The boy being caned is supposed to be around fourteen or fifteen years old, but is played by the actor Mickey Rooney, who would've been in his mid-twenties when this was filmed. The actors giving the caning look even older, but in real life would have been aged between seventeen and nineteen. Aside from the actors' ages, this is a good representation of how punishments were administered, without the involvement or permission of teachers or school staff, in the prefects' library or prefects' studies at Eton for most of the 20th century.
