EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the bustling streets of 19th century Stepney, London. The focal point of the image is a towering hoarding that stands proudly in front of St Benets Mission Hall and Schools. Its weathered exterior tells tales of time gone by, as it serves as a canvas for various advertisements and notices. The scene exudes an air of anticipation and excitement, with people passing by on their daily routines. Children in school uniforms can be seen eagerly peering through gaps in the hoarding, perhaps curious about what lies beyond. The mission hall itself stands tall behind the hoarding, its architectural beauty contrasting against the makeshift nature of the surrounding advertisement boards. This print offers a glimpse into a moment frozen in history - December 1877 - captured from The British Workman publication. It reminds us that even amidst urban development and progress, there are still pockets where tradition holds strong. The fine details engraved within this artwork allow us to appreciate not only the physical surroundings but also imagine the stories hidden within these walls. It invites us to reflect on how education played a vital role in shaping communities during this era. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene from yesteryears, we are reminded that history has much to teach us about our present realities – both socially and culturally – urging us to cherish our heritage while embracing progress for future generations.
