EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a serene moment in the school yard of Eton College, Berkshire. The image is sourced from "The National and Domestic History of England" by William Hickman Smith Aubrey, published in London around 1890. Eton College, founded by King Henry VI in 1440, stands as an iconic institution known for its prestigious education. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the grandeur of Gothic architecture that adorns the buildings surrounding the courtyard. The towering presence of Luptons Tower commands attention amidst the tranquil scene. The composition showcases a classic quad design with its symmetrical layout and meticulously manicured lawns. It offers a glimpse into daily life at this renowned boys' school during an era when tradition and discipline were paramount. As we delve into this historical gem captured by an anonymous English School photographer from the 19th century, we are transported to a different world altogether. This image not only serves as a testament to Eton's rich heritage but also evokes nostalgia for simpler times when education was revered above all else.
