EDITORS COMMENTS
This drawing represents the front facade of the P.C.C., or Postal College of Art, a groundbreaking institution in Great Britain established circa 1919. The P.C.C. was the first postal college dedicated to fostering the artistic growth and development of its students, providing them with essential skills and knowledge to generate income through their art. The image, engraved by Emery Walker and graciously contributed by the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the college's elegant and inviting exterior. The homey, red-brick building is adorned with colorful banners and flags, symbolizing the creative energy and vibrant spirit that thrived within its walls. Notable artists such as Frederick Landseer Griggs were among the esteemed faculty members who shared their expertise and guidance with students through correspondence courses and various publications. One such publication was the college's very own color magazine, titled "Volume 11, January 1920." The P.C.C. revolutionized the way artists could learn and earn a living during a time when opportunities for artistic education and income generation were limited. This drawing serves as a testament to the college's enduring legacy and the invaluable impact it had on the artistic community in Great Britain.
