Montessori Poster - Imagination


Exquisite original 1960's poster with quote from Montessori education founder, Maria Montessori.


Print reads:
HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS COMES INTO THE WORLD AS A FLAMING BALL OF IMAGINATION. EVERYTHING INVENTED BY MAN, PHYSICAL OR MENTAL, IS THE FRUIT OF SOMEONE'S IMAGINATION. THE SECRET TO GOOD TEACHING IS TO REGARD THE CHILD'S INTELLIGENCE AS A FERTILE FIELD IN WHICH SEEDS MAY BE SOWN TO GROW UNDER THE FLAMING HEAT OF IMAGINATION. - Maria Montessori.

Poster art is done by Lucia Pearce, an artist who went on to work for Charles and Ray Eames.
