The image showcases a bustling scene outside the renowned Polytechnic Institution during Easter week. As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported to a bygone era filled with curiosity and intellectual pursuits. The grand architecture of the institution stands tall against the backdrop of a cloudy sky, exuding an air of importance and knowledge. Intriguingly, people from all walks of life can be seen gathered around the entrance, eagerly engaging in conversations or perhaps awaiting an enlightening lecture or demonstration inside. Men in top hats and women donning elegant dresses add a touch of sophistication to this lively scene. The artist's attention to detail is evident as every figure seems to have its own story - from scholars deep in conversation to children excitedly pointing towards something unseen.
