Description
"Georg-Schmidt-Schule in Korsten." ("Georg-Schmidt-School in Korsten."). Stairs lead up to the schoolroom. On the stairs a teacher in a suit looking at the camera. In the left foreground in front of the room a second teacher, also in a suit and a hat. The schoolchildren are standing in lines in front of the stairs. The girls are wearing predominantly white short dresses. The boys are in short pants and long-sleeved pullovers or jackets. All the children appear to be barefoot.
Cf. photo no. 12251. -- Since Rudolph Joorst had an apartment in Korsten (cf. photo no. 12250), one can assume that he is one of the teachers in the picture. Probably the one on the stairs.
