Picture: Pranzo all'aria aperta

Lunch in the garden of one of the Berlin Children's Houses. Small "waiters" going about their work. Postcard published by the DMG (German Montessori Society), around 1927 with the inscription: "If, when creating an environment for the child, care is taken to make it suitable to his nature, he will from an early age prove to be a social being, willing to attend to the welfare of others."
