Background information on the history of school wall charts: The idea of improving everyday school life using pictures was supported at the end of the 18th century by Johann Bernhard Basedow. In 1774 he published a four-volume book titled "Elementarwerk", which combined images, text and information with around one hundred copperplate engravings. Modern printing methods allowed the work to spread from wealthy private schools to rural primary schools. From 1820 to 1836, the oldest series of wall maps mentioned were published as six booklets comprising 63 large maps. The early 20th century was the golden age of wall chart publishers. The artists masterfully produced paintings that combined the specific standards of a scientist and the standards given by an educator, to ultimately create a magnificent work of art.
