Let's dance in the #classroom. There is always this one child in every school class that needs more attention. Greetings to the boy dancing on the table with a big and bound paper book in his hand. Knowledge in motion in a classroom. A superb learning performance, well done little paper dancer. #EduHist #Histknow

All right, see you next time for the next painting analysis focusing on paper. Thank you for your attention to #PaperHistory, dear #histodons.

Let's highlight the centered scene of the painting.

We see a female teacher advising a pupil to read correctly from a small paper book, very likely with a printed text. Also on the table: loose sheets needed for teaching, maybe to write on, maybe to read from. Education was a paper work. #PaperHistory #EduHist #HistKnow #education #teaching

And where to buy all these paper products school kids needed? Well, it was the usual bookseller (plus a few more shop owners) providing all kinds of fresh papers needed, from the ABC booklets to bound educational books to printed images. On the painting you see the variety available on the early modern book markets lying under the table. #PaperHistory #education #eduhist
