Baku, Azerbaijan - The Commercial School (circa 1909): A Window into the Past of Azerbaijani Education This photograph, taken circa 1909, offers a glimpse into the history of education in Baku, Azerbaijan. The image showcases the impressive facade of The Commercial School, a prominent educational institution during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Located in the heart of Baku, the school was a vital part of the city's thriving cultural scene. Established to provide high-quality education to the children of the city's growing commercial and industrial classes, it played a significant role in shaping the future leaders of Azerbaijani society. The architectural design of the school building reflects the unique blend of European and Middle Eastern influences that characterized Baku during this period. The red-brick structure, adorned with intricate stonework and ornate arches, exudes an air of sophistication and grandeur. The large windows allow ample natural light to enter the classrooms, creating an inviting and conducive learning environment. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the daily life of the students. Clad in their school uniforms, they can be seen milling about the school grounds, engaging in lively conversations, or intently studying in the classrooms. The image captures the spirit of curiosity and excitement that permeated the school, making it an essential part of Baku's rich educational heritage. Today, The Commercial School stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of the Azerbaijani people. Despite the many challenges they have faced throughout history, they have continued to prioritize education and strive for a better future for their children. This photograph serves as a reminder of the important role education plays in shaping the lives of individuals and communities, and the enduring legacy of The Commercial School in Baku's history.
