Daily Life Records
- Monographs, 1880-1905, “The monographs were developed in the years 1883-1889 for local school competitions or exhibitions and then to feature prominently at the 1889 World’s Fair. The aim was to show, on the occasion of the centenary of the French Revolution, the progress of public education and the efficiency of teachers to teach history and geography. On the other hand, it is hoped to spread the culture in the families through the pupils. In the 1890s, the Ministry of Education recommended the systematic implementation of a monographic communal by each teacher; four-page printed templates are developed to help teachers write them. A new series of monographs was produced from 1897 to 1900 to participate in the 1900 World’s Fair.”
