Maria Montessori Portrait in a child's hands
This is a colour photograph of Maria Montessori in A3 size, 29.7 × 42 cm (11.7 × 16.5 in). Maria Montessori (1870 to 1952) was an Italian physician and educator, and the Montessori method is named after her. The picture is meant for a classroom, and Nienhuis gives paper as the material and indoor use. It is a portrait to look at, not a work material for the child. Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture and dust it gently with a soft dry cloth.
