EDITORS COMMENTS
The Great Schools of England: Charterhouse from the Green, 1862, is an enchanting print showcasing the picturesque Charterhouse School in Godalming, Surrey. Founded by Thomas Sutton in 1611, this esteemed public school was originally located in London, on the site of a Carthusian monastery. In 1872, the school was relocated to its current serene surroundings, overlooking the rolling hills and lush greenery. This image, published in the Illustrated London News in 1862, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the grandeur of the Charterhouse buildings nestled amidst the English countryside. The print depicts a scene of boys engaged in a spirited cricket match on the school's expansive grounds, surrounded by their teachers, or 'dons,' who watch from the sidelines. The tranquil setting is further enhanced by the presence of girls, who are likely students from the associated Charterhouse School for Girls, located nearby. The Charterhouse School, with its rich history and prestigious reputation, has long been a symbol of academic excellence and social status in England. This evocative print, created in the 19th century, captures the essence of a bygone era, offering a fascinating glimpse into the daily life and traditions of a quintessentially British educational institution.
