EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures Sherborne School in 1923, a prestigious private school located in Dorset, England. The origins of this esteemed institution can be traced back to the 8th century when it was closely associated with Sherborne Abbey. However, it was officially refounded in 1550 by King Edward VI. The photograph is part of a series called "Sunripe Cigarettes - A Series of 50 Public Schools and Colleges" published by R. & J. Hill Ltd. , London in 1923. It showcases the magnificent architecture of Sherborne School's facade, which reflects its rich history spanning several centuries. In this monochrome image, we see the impressive building exterior that exudes an air of grandeur and tradition. The black and white tones add a timeless quality to the picture, emphasizing the school's long-standing heritage. It is worth noting that smoking was prevalent during this era, as suggested by the inclusion of a cigarette packet on the print itself. This detail offers insight into societal norms and habits at that time. Overall, this print provides us with a glimpse into British education in the early 20th century while highlighting Sherborne School's historical significance as one of England's most distinguished institutions for learning.
