content: This photogravure entitled “School Examination” depicts a teacher and students seated on wooden benches. The girls are on the two front rows facing the teacher, while two rows of boys are on the left facing the viewer. Two girls are standing and taking an oral examination. This is no ordinary schoolroom. It appears to be part of a large structure replete with stone floors, Doric columns and a fine stone staircase.
