EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1926, offering a glimpse into the historical architecture of Jericho's Upper Room in Luptons Tower. The tower itself was constructed in 1520 by Henry Redman, providing additional accommodation for Roger Lupton, an esteemed English lawyer and cleric who served as Provost of Eton College from 1503 to 1535. The image showcases the timeless beauty of this bell tower, which stands tall against the backdrop of Berkshire's landscape. Its intricate design is highlighted through the monochrome lens, emphasizing its significance as a Grade I listed building. As we explore further, our attention is drawn to a window that allows natural light to flood into the room. Inside this historic space lies sparse yet elegant furniture - a chair placed on top of a rug that adds warmth and comfort to the room. This setting evokes a sense of academia and learning; it serves as a reminder that Eton College has been nurturing young minds within these walls for centuries. Christopher Hussey's book "Eton College" provides valuable insight into this remarkable institution and its architectural heritage. Through this print captured almost a century ago by an unknown photographer working for Country Life magazine in London, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the grandeur and legacy preserved within Jericho's Upper Room in Luptons Tower at Eton College.
