EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Harrow School in 1923, an esteemed institution with a rich history dating back to its founding by John Lyon of Preston in 1572. Located in the heart of London, England, this urban setting is beautifully captured, highlighting the school's impressive architecture and its integration into the bustling cityscape. In this snapshot from Sunripe Cigarettes' collection featuring public schools and colleges, we see a group of women enjoying a moment on the road outside Harrow School. The image exudes an air of sophistication as these ladies elegantly engage in conversation while indulging in cigarettes. The facade of Harrow School stands tall behind them, boasting intricate details that reflect its sixteenth-century origins. Its spire reaches towards the sky as if aspiring to greatness alongside those who have passed through its doors over centuries. This vintage photograph transports us back to the roaring twenties when smoking was considered fashionable and socially acceptable for both men and women. It offers a glimpse into British education during this era, where private schools like Harrow were highly regarded for their academic excellence. Preserved by The Print Collector, this monochrome image captures not only a specific moment but also serves as a testament to Queen Elizabeth I's royal charter that granted Harrow School its prestigious status. As we admire this historical gem from R. J Hill Ltd. , it reminds us of how far education has come since then while honoring the enduring legacy of institutions like Harrow School.
