EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a momentous event in the history of education and royalty. Titled "Drill Competition of the London Board Schools before the Prince and Princess of Wales at Buckhurst Hill" it showcases a ceremonial gathering that took place in 1883. The image, created by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, offers a glimpse into this grand occasion. In this scene, we see boys from various London Board Schools presenting their impressive drill skills to His Royal Highness (HRH) the Prince of Wales and Her Royal Highness (HRH) the Princess of Wales. The royal couple stands tall as they inspect each group with great interest and admiration. The atmosphere is charged with excitement as these young students showcase their discipline and precision through Swedish drill formations. This competition not only highlights their physical prowess but also emphasizes the importance placed on education during that era. The presence of royalty adds an extra layer of significance to this event, elevating it to a truly memorable affair. It serves as a testament to how highly regarded education was within society, even catching the attention and support of members from Britain's royal family. Through this enchanting print, we are transported back in time to witness both an educational milestone for London's board schools and a moment where tradition meets modernity under royal patronage.
