EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases King Henry VI overseeing the construction of Eton College, a prestigious institution that he founded in 1440. The image, created by Paul Hardy in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the historical significance of this momentous event. In this scene, we see King Henry VI standing amidst a group of hardworking builders and craftsmen. With an air of authority and determination, he closely examines their progress on the stone walls of Eton College. The carving tools scattered around him symbolize his commitment to creating a lasting legacy for education and learning. The setting transports us back to 15th century Europe, specifically Germany and Great Britain. It is evident that this construction project holds immense importance not only for its architectural value but also for its role in shaping British history. Eton College stands as a testament to King Henry VI's vision and dedication to providing quality education during the Middle Ages. As one gazes upon this litho print, they are reminded of the rich heritage embedded within these ancient walls. This artwork was featured in "The Story of the British People in Pictures" published by Odhams Press Ltd. , London around 1936. Its inclusion serves as an homage to King Henry VI's enduring impact on both England and Europe as a whole.
