Das Bild von Pompeji im Unterricht in den böhmischen Kronländern. Die Zeit des habsburgischen Schulwesens (1849–1918)
The Image of Pompeii in Classes in the Countries of the Bohemian Crown. The Time of Habsburgian Schooling (1849–1918)

Summary/Abstract: Pompeii and its death was for a long time not a topic either in classes of classical languages nor in other subjects. History school books mostly limited themselves to the statement that Pompeii had been destructed during the reign of Titus; children could find out more about the fate of Pompeii in German and Czech reading-books. All these textbooks had for a long time no illustrations. The first pictures from Pompeii can be found in the history textbooks by Gindely. Some plans as well as pictures students found in art class schoolbooks and on the school corridor walls. They could use also some of the school compendiums which were in the students’ school libraries.
