EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1898, offering a glimpse into the interior of the Old School-Room at Harrow School in Harrow-on-the-Hill, England. The school, founded by John Lyon in 1572 under a Royal Charter from Queen Elizabeth I, has been an esteemed institution for boys for centuries. The image showcases a classroom filled with young boys engrossed in their studies. Dressed in traditional clothing of the time, they sit on wooden benches diligently reading books and engaging with their lessons. The atmosphere is one of quiet concentration as sunlight streams through leaded glass windows, casting ethereal patterns on the walls. The photograph's monochromatic palette adds to its historical charm and allows us to appreciate every intricate detail within this educational setting. The worn-out wooden floors bear witness to countless footsteps taken by generations of students seeking knowledge. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the importance placed on education during that era. It serves as a testament to both the dedication of these young scholars and the enduring legacy of Harrow School itself. This remarkable piece from "Our Own Country" offers us an opportunity to reflect upon our own educational journeys while celebrating the rich history embedded within these hallowed halls.
