EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases Alexandra House, Kensington Gore, the New Home for Lady Students in London. The print captures the grandeur and elegance of this esteemed establishment, recently inaugurated by none other than the Prince and Princess of Wales. The illustration was originally featured in The Graphic on March 26,1887. The image presents a glimpse into various aspects of Alexandra House. From its majestic entrance to its spacious sitting rooms and dining hall, every corner exudes sophistication and refinement. Sir Francis Cook and Sir George Chubb are prominently depicted as they present the key to this magnificent house - their generous donation making it all possible. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn to a group of lady students enjoying a conversation in one of the beautifully adorned drawing rooms. A window seat offers them an idyllic view while fostering intellectual discussions among these bright minds. The opening ceremony must have been a momentous occasion with distinguished guests such as the Prince and Princess of Wales gracing Alexandra House with their presence. This engraving serves as a testament to not only architectural excellence but also celebrates women's education during that era. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of history through their Fine Art Finder collection, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry behind this engraving and its historical significance for generations to come.
