EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts the humble residence of Jean Baptiste de La Salle, a pivotal figure in the history of education, located at 23 rue des Anglais (formerly rue de la Tournelle) in Reims, France. The image transports us back to 1651, when La Salle, then a young man, began his missionary work in this very place. Born in Rouen, France, in 1651, La Salle was a visionary educator who dedicated his life to improving the lives of the underprivileged and disadvantaged. He founded the Brothers of the Christian Schools, also known as the Christian Brothers, an order of Catholic religious brothers dedicated to teaching. The print shows a simple, yet elegant, stone house with a small courtyard and a garden. La Salle is believed to have lived here for several years, teaching children in the local community and providing them with a basic education. The house served as a base for his missionary work and the beginning of his lifelong commitment to education. La Salle's influence on education was far-reaching, and his methods and ideas continue to shape educational practices today. He is considered the patron saint of teachers and educators, and his legacy is celebrated around the world. This print is a precious reminder of the humble beginnings of a man who changed the course of education history. It invites us to reflect on the importance of education and the impact that one person can have on the lives of countless others.
