[Egyptian/German manuscript schoolgirl atlas].
Pub Note:
Manuscript atlas with maps of North Africa drawn by Ethel Finney at the Deutsche Schule zu Alexandrien (German School in Alexandria). The Deutsche Schule der Borromäerinnen Alexandria was founded in 1884. Its initial mission was to educate German and Austrian children, whose fathers were employed in the construction of the port of Alexandria. As the school grew, a curriculum based on the model of the so-called higher school for daughters (dt. Höhere Töchterschule) was introduced in 1894. The school was closed with the expulsion of its instructors in the First World War, but reopened in 1922. After World War II, in 1946, Arabic became an official language taught at school.
