EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print captures the distinguished figure of Charles Old Goodford, the Provost of Eton College in 1878. The photograph was taken by renowned photographers Lock & Whitfield as part of their Men of Mark series, which showcased prominent individuals from various fields. Goodford's connection to Eton College runs deep, as he began his career there as an assistant master in 1835 while still a student at Cambridge University. His dedication and passion for education led him to become the headmaster in 1853 and eventually ascend to the position of provost in 1862, a role he held until his passing twenty-two years later. In this monochrome image, Goodford exudes authority and intellect. Dressed impeccably in nineteenth-century attire with an Eton collar adorning his neck, he epitomizes the essence of academia. The attention to detail captured by Lock & Whitfield allows us to appreciate not only Goodford's physical appearance but also his character and accomplishments. This print serves as a testament to Goodford's significant contributions to Eton College and highlights his lasting impact on education during the nineteenth century. It immortalizes a man who dedicated his life to shaping young minds within one of England's most prestigious institutions.
