In the enchanting world of education, a brother and sister sit side by side, diligently engrossed in their school homework, and is the year 1912, captured forever in an exquisite engraving that tells tales of dedication and sibling camaraderie. Meanwhile, a young boy stands tall before a towering blackboard at Melabday School. With chalk in hand, he writes with determination as his classmates look on eagerly. This moment frozen in time showcases the power of knowledge being imparted within the walls of this educational institution nestled amidst the breathtaking Danakil Depression. Traveling back to 1884, we witness another captivating scene painted delicately on canvas. Schoolmates gather together under warm sunlight, their faces filled with youthful innocence and curiosity. The tempera strokes bring to life their shared experiences and friendships formed within these hallowed halls. Constant Meunier's masterpiece from 1864 unveils a heart-wrenching detail - "The Orphans. " In this poignant oil painting, we glimpse into the lives of children left without parents but finding solace within the embrace of education. Their eyes reflect resilience as they strive for brighter futures through learning. A chromolithography titled "Schoolboy - Writer - Stoneer" transports us to 1890 when childhood was adorned with simplicity yet brimming with dreams waiting to be penned onto paper or etched into stone walls. These multifaceted roles showcase how education molds young minds into versatile individuals ready to face any challenge that comes their way. Intricate illustrations from "Skittles, " "Racket, " "Syllabary, " and "Knitting" depict diverse activities that engage students' minds beyond textbooks during leisure hours in 1890s classrooms. From playful games to creative pursuits like knitting or mastering language skills through syllables – all contribute towards holistic development.
