This half-length portrait shows Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, the Swiss educator who was born in Zurich in 1746 and died in 1827. The record identifies it as a reproduction made between 1920 and 1930, so it likely copies an earlier likeness rather than recording a sitting from that decade. Pestalozzi's teaching centered on learning through observation, direct experience and patient instruction, ideas that influenced schools in Europe and the United States well into the following century. Prints like this one show how his appearance was passed on to later generations who knew his name mainly through his educational work.
