The image is a photograph of a sign that reads "Schooldays: A schoolboy could expect many beatings". The sign is displayed on a white wall with a black frame. The text is written in black font and is centered on the sign. Below the text, there is a small piece of paper with a quote written on it. The quote reads, "A Sumerian tale known today as "School Days, many copies of which have been preserved, tells us the story of what we know about the life of a young schoolboy." The paper appears to be old and worn, with some creases and discoloration. The background of the image is blurred, but it seems to be a museum or exhibition space.
