The Great Schools of England: the dining-hall at Christ's Hospital...singing a hymn, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The Great Schools of England: the dining-hall at Christ's Hospital...singing a hymn, 1862. Founded in the 16th century, Christ's Hospital is one of the oldest boarding schools in England. It was originally set up as a charitable school to educate London's poor children, and is unusual among British independent schools in that the majority of the students receive bursaries. Fees are paid on a means-tested basis. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1862 with this print of The Great Schools of England: the dining-hall at Christ's Hospital. Founded in the 16th century, Christ's Hospital is one of the oldest boarding schools in England, originally established as a charitable institution to educate London's underprivileged children.
In this image, we see a group of boys dressed in traditional bluecoat uniforms singing a hymn together. The atmosphere is filled with solemnity and reverence as they gather in the grand dining hall illuminated by gas lighting. The intricate architecture and detailed furniture transport us to a bygone era where education was not just about academics but also instilling values of charity and community.
The engraving captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the importance of music and religion within the school curriculum. As these young scholars raise their voices in harmony, we can almost hear the echoes of history reverberating through the room.
This print serves as a reminder of Christ's Hospital's rich heritage and commitment to providing quality education for all, regardless of social or economic background. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of one of Britain's most esteemed educational institutions.
