EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the past at Christ's Hospital School, one of the Great Schools of England. Founded in the 16th century as a charitable institution to educate London's underprivileged children, this historic boarding school has stood the test of time. The image showcases one of the dormitories where young boys would have slept and studied together.
The engraving from "Illustrated London News" in 1862 provides a window into daily life at this prestigious school. The rows of neatly made beds, simple furnishings, and sense of camaraderie among the students are all evident in this snapshot from over a century ago.
Christ's Hospital is unique among British independent schools for its commitment to providing bursaries to the majority of its students on a means-tested basis. This dedication to offering quality education to those who may not otherwise have access sets it apart as an institution with a noble mission.
As we gaze upon this piece of history, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of Christ's Hospital School and its impact on generations of young minds. It serves as a testament to the power of education and philanthropy in shaping lives for centuries to come.
