EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the serene setting of a rooftop garden, this print takes us back to 1912 at White Lion Street School in London. A group of young girls can be seen indulging in moments of relaxation and camaraderie amidst their educational journey. The image beautifully portrays the essence of early 20th-century life. In the foreground, one girl sits comfortably on a deckchair, engrossed in her book, finding solace within its pages. Meanwhile, three other girls engage in animated conversation nearby, forming an intimate bond as they share stories and laughter. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to this snapshot from history. The location itself holds historical significance as it was under the jurisdiction of Greater London Council (GLC) and Guildhall Library and Art Gallery during that era. Situated in Islington's Pentonville area, White Lion Street School served as an educational institution for young females under the administration of London County Council. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also symbolizes the importance placed on education for women during that period. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come while honoring those who paved the way for future generations. Preserved by Heritage Images, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into both nature's tranquility and human connection amidst bustling city life.
