EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1909, capturing a glimpse of life at West Heath School for Young Ladies in Richmond, London. Founded as a school in 1879, this institution had recently been acquired by two dedicated teachers who were eager to promote its excellence. In their quest to showcase the school's vibrant atmosphere and diverse activities, they commissioned Bedford Lemere and Company to capture this stunning photograph. The image showcases a group of young ladies engrossed in an energetic game of lacrosse on the picturesque grounds of Ham Common. Dressed in their Edwardian-era attire, these spirited students epitomize the joyous spirit of childhood amidst their pursuit of education and physical activity. West Heath School was renowned for providing young women with a well-rounded education that went beyond traditional academic subjects. It fostered personal growth through sports like lacrosse, encouraging teamwork and resilience among its pupils. Preserved by Historic England Archive, this remarkable snapshot offers us a window into an era long gone but not forgotten. It reminds us of the importance placed on both education and physical development during those times when girls' opportunities were still limited. As we gaze upon this historical treasure, we are transported back to an age where innocence intertwined with ambition – where young minds flourished under the guidance of passionate educators at West Heath School for Young Ladies.
