EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to a schoolyard in the year 1814. The image, captured through the art of gravure by an anonymous English School artist from the 20th century, offers a glimpse into a bygone era of education. The scene depicts a traditional public school setting, believed to be Eton College in Windsor. A group of young boys can be seen engaging in various activities within the spacious courtyard. Some are engaged in animated conversations while others engage in playful games during their break time. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of learning and camaraderie that existed within these historic educational institutions. It serves as a reminder of how education has evolved over time while also highlighting certain timeless aspects that remain integral to schooling. This particular print was originally created as an illustration for "Bygone Eton" written by R. A Austen-Leigh and published by Spottiswoode & Co in 1912. Its inclusion within this private collection showcases its significance as one of many reproductions preserving historic images for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece, we are transported back two centuries ago, gaining insight into the lives and experiences of students who once roamed these hallowed grounds. It is truly remarkable how art can provide such vivid glimpses into our shared history.
