The Street

A Journey in Images Through the Past 100 Years

A fascinating journey back through 100 years of everyday scenes in images. We see a house and observe its inhabitants, we look down a street and follow the changes through the 20th and 21st centuries.

How did things look back in 1910, how did people live and cook and do the laundry? What did the children play and what did they wear? When did the first toilets appear and when did cars finally replace horses as a means of transportation? Which scars did the war leave and how did new houses appear from the rubble in 1945? Why didn’t kids have computers back then? And why can people hardly live without a mobile phone these days?

Children can see and feel the answers to these questions and become time travelers through history on 7 large format plates.

On 4 exciting topic spreads, kids will learn how life has changed and where things are leading in short texts and with series of pictures. Learning can be so amazing and easy to grasp!
• 7 opulent plates make history come alive
