EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the elegant Drawing-Room of Eton College in 1926. Steeped in history, this prestigious boarding independent school for boys was founded by King Henry VI in 1440. The room is adorned with portraits of young Etonians, many of whom would later rise to fame. The grandeur of the interior architecture is evident as we observe the carefully arranged furniture and classic British design elements. Each chair tells a story, each piece contributing to the overall concept of sophistication and education that Eton College represents. As we delve into this monochrome world frozen in time, we are transported to a different era - the roaring twenties. This image captures not only a moment but also an entire century's worth of tradition and heritage within its frame. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its historical value. It serves as a reminder that Eton College has stood as a pillar of education for centuries, shaping young minds who would go on to make their mark on society. Preserved by Christopher Hussey's lens for Country Life magazine in London during 1926, this print allows us to appreciate the beauty and importance behind such historic institutions like Eton College.
