SCHOOL CHILD IN CLASS

SCHOOL Interior of classroom with schoolchildren of an elementary class made up of fifty students. Everyone poses seated at the counter and wears a light-colored apron with a white collar (the only concession to distinguish themselves in the shape of the collar), at the back of the class the nun - teacher poses and a large abacus is placed not far from her. The lens slightly deforms children's faces at the outer edges of the image; the portrait of Pope Pius XI and some didactic tables hang on the walls. Photograph, Italy (probably Milan or surroundings), around 1935.
