On the back of the photo there is a written message to Shaig from his students which reads: ‘Lack of knowledge of our native language is very common among our educated people, and it hampers their service to our nation. You realized this flaw in our education system and put a lot of effort into addressing it. Our deeply respected Mirza Abdulla, let us present to you our group as a sign of our love and gratitude to You. Mammad Taghiyev, Abdulali Gulamov, Khalig Jafarov. Baku, 2 April 1912.’
