Is the device on the left a UFO or a primus lamp?

It's a Martian spaceship landing in a rather hilly school playing field Paul:D
No, being serious its a primus lamp on a table with a book, paper and a pencil to the fore. The book has a letter or number on the opened page that looks like a backward written letter s or maybe a number 2. In the background are hills or mountains probably depicting teaching in Rural areas I would imagine.
Best regards Eddie

Here's mine. 15cuc.
The thing in the book is actually a small letter "a" partially covered by the next page, not inverted "s" or "2" as had been suggested earlier in this thread.
