EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "From The Old Christopher, 1926" takes us back in time to the prestigious Eton College in Berkshire, England. Established by King Henry VI in 1440, this boarding independent school for boys has a rich history that is beautifully captured in this image. The focal point of the photograph is the magnificent Chapel, an architectural masterpiece built in the late Gothic or Perpendicular style. Its grandeur and intricate details are awe-inspiring, showcasing the craftsmanship of centuries past. However, World War II left its mark on this historic building when a bomb shattered all but one window above the organ. Bathed in sunlight during springtime, the photo highlights not only the beauty of Eton College's architecture but also its stunning surroundings. The well-manicured grounds provide a serene backdrop as students engage in their education within these hallowed walls. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene from nearly a century ago, we can't help but appreciate how Eton College has stood as a symbol of British excellence throughout history. This Grade I listed building continues to serve as both an educational institution and a reminder of our cultural heritage. Captured by Christopher Hussey and featured in Country Life magazine's publication on Eton College, this print offers us a glimpse into an era gone by while reminding us of the timeless beauty and significance of this esteemed institution.
