Abstract
The paper analyzes wall boards used in history teaching in schools in the 19th century and the early 20th century, which are part of the Croatian School Museum’s Collection of Teaching Tools and Aids. These wall boards played an important role as teaching aids and were used for graphic teaching of all courses. Although the wall boards used for history teaching were primarily a teaching aid, they are a source of different information, describing the political, social and cultural conditions in Croatian lands in the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. The analyzed wall boards were made using lithography technique, which prompted fast and cheap reproduction of materials and became available to almost all levels of society. The paper underlines certain authors of such lithographic pictures and their publishers and also analyzes lithography as a print technique.
