EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1926, capturing a timeless scene of Eton College's Upper School. Located in the picturesque town of Eton, Berkshire, this prestigious boarding school for boys was founded by King Henry VI in 1440. The photograph showcases the remarkable architecture that has stood the test of time, with its panelled walls and classic British design. Inside this historic classroom, we see rows of benches where young minds were once molded and shaped. The room exudes an air of intellectualism and creativity as it is adorned with sculptures and artwork that inspire learning and artistic expression. A bust stands proudly at the front, symbolizing wisdom and knowledge. The monochrome aesthetic adds a sense of nostalgia to this image from the early twentieth century. It transports us back to a different era when education held great importance in society. This snapshot captures not just a physical space but also represents an entire concept - one that emphasizes tradition, discipline, and academic excellence. As we gaze upon this print from Christopher Hussey's book on Eton College published by Country Life in London, we are reminded of the rich history embedded within these walls. This Grade I listed building continues to shape young minds today as it did almost six centuries ago when it first opened its doors.
