EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1862 with this print of The Great Schools of England: the dining-hall at Christ's Hospital. Founded in the 16th century, Christ's Hospital is one of the oldest boarding schools in England, originally established as a charitable institution to educate London's underprivileged children.
In this image, we see a group of boys dressed in traditional bluecoat uniforms singing a hymn together. The atmosphere is filled with solemnity and reverence as they gather in the grand dining hall illuminated by gas lighting. The intricate architecture and detailed furniture transport us to a bygone era where education was not just about academics but also instilling values of charity and community.
The engraving captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the importance of music and religion within the school curriculum. As these young scholars raise their voices in harmony, we can almost hear the echoes of history reverberating through the room.
This print serves as a reminder of Christ's Hospital's rich heritage and commitment to providing quality education for all, regardless of social or economic background. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of one of Britain's most esteemed educational institutions.
