EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1926, capturing a moment in time at The Chapel of Eton College before the removal of the stall canopies. Eton College, located in Berkshire near Windsor, is an esteemed boarding independent school for boys that was founded by King Henry VI in 1440. The Chapel itself is a remarkable example of late Gothic or Perpendicular style architecture. Its grandeur and intricate details are evident even through this monochrome image. However, it bears witness to the ravages of World War II, as all its stained glass windows were shattered by a bomb except for one above the organ. As we gaze into this photograph, we are transported inside this historic place of worship. The perspective allows us to appreciate the vastness and magnificence of the chapel's interior. The choir stalls and choir screen stand prominently amidst their surroundings, adding an element of religious significance to this scene. This image not only captures architectural beauty but also represents education and tradition deeply rooted within British culture. It serves as a reminder of Eton College's long-standing history as well as its commitment to providing quality education within a religious setting. Thanks to Christopher Hussey's work on documenting Eton College in 1926 for Country Life magazine, we have been granted access to this stunning visual representation from our past. It stands as a testament to both artistic craftsmanship and historical preservation - reminding us how important it is to cherish our heritage for generations yet unborn.
