EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Wolverhampton Grammar School in all its historical glory. The engraving, believed to be from 1797, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past. With dimensions of 38.1x25.4 cm, this print is housed at The William Salt Library in Stafford, UK. The image portrays a front view of the school as seen from the street. On either end stand the houses of the masters and ushers, while in the center lies the schoolroom itself. Above its central door proudly rests the founders' coat of arms carved in stone—an emblematic symbol of tradition and prestige. It is worth noting that this particular print excludes the bell turret which would have adorned this architectural gem during that era. Nevertheless, it captures an enchanting snapshot of Wolverhampton's educational heritage. The inscription on this plate reveals that it was respectfully dedicated to "the Trustees of the Free Grammar School" by R. Paddey—a humble servant who held deep admiration for their work and commitment to education. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, our minds wander back to a time when knowledge was imparted within these walls—when eager students roamed these corridors and teachers shaped young minds with wisdom and discipline. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back centuries—to an age where buildings like these were not mere structures but pillars representing progress and enlightenment within society.
