REF : MA-CMA-INSTDP-LH
A vintage-style poster honoring the wisdom and dignity of the village schoolmaster of yesteryear.
Bathed in the soft light of an old-fashioned classroom, Teacher of Provence – History Lesson pays tribute to the noble figure of the village schoolmaster — a pillar of education and a symbol of civic values in 20th-century France.
Dressed in a brown suit with a simple tie, the teacher holds a piece of chalk in one hand and a well-worn history book in the other. Behind him, on the blackboard, the words “L’histoire de France” recall the timeless lessons of the nation passed down with passion and discipline. The atmosphere is calm, studious, and steeped in collective memory.
Inspired by the visual style of 1940s and 1950s advertising posters, this illustration honors the world of wooden desks, chalky blackboards, and illustrated wall maps. It captures the spirit of knowledge transmission, respect, and benevolent authority that defined an era.
Perfect for a study, a library, or any retro-inspired interior, this artwork is a warm tribute to the silent heroes of public education — and to the beauty of learning.
Clean with a dry, soft cloth.
