EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the grandeur and history of No. 61 King Edwards School in Birmingham, taken in 1923. The Gothic architectural facade designed by Charles Barry in 1835 is showcased beautifully, showcasing the intricate details that make this building a true masterpiece. The school itself holds great significance as an independent day school for boys, founded by King Edward VI back in 1552. The monochrome image adds to its timeless appeal, highlighting the aged charm and historic value of this educational institution. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a different era - the early twentieth century when smoking was still prevalent and cigarette cards were popular collectibles. Sunripe Cigarettes' series on public schools and colleges features this particular image among their collection of seventy-five prints. It serves as a testament to the cultural importance placed on education during that time period. The unknown creator has managed to capture not just a building but also an entire concept - one that represents tradition, knowledge, and growth. This print stands as a reminder of how far education has come since its establishment centuries ago while also paying homage to its rich heritage. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate both the architectural beauty captured within these walls and the countless minds shaped within them over generations past.
