Die Flamme der Hoffnung?

HWW!

It's the lamp of learning, Manuel, but that is considered a symbol of hope.

Great find; well taken John.

Whoever made it did a good job. Very interesting.

The building was intended as a showpiece, Andrew, so it was probably done by someone important. I worked there back when it was the headquarters of the board of education. It was, and I believe still is, a stunning building inside. It had a theatre with huge murals commemorating Montessori, and other murals throughout, including a 30-metre-or-so one in the cafeteria about the history of eating, starting with a caveman tucking into a roast leg of some giant animal. I think these have all been preserved. I haven't been in there for some time, but the last time I was the cafeteria was gone but the mural was still there. Expensive finishes throughout, etc.

HWW, John. This is full of interest, as usual with your work.

Thank you very much, John.
