EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the grandeur of Shrewsbury School in 1923. Founded in 1552 by Royal Charter under King Edward VI, this prestigious institution was later augmented by Queen Elizabeth I in 1571. The image showcases a group of schoolboys, exuding an air of youthful energy and camaraderie as they stand outside the magnificent architecture. The boys, dressed impeccably in their uniforms, are seen holding Sunripe Cigarettes packets - a fascinating detail that reflects the cultural norms of the time. Smoking was not uncommon among schoolchildren during this era, adding an intriguing layer to the snapshot of British education history. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing both its historical significance and aesthetic appeal. The intricate facade of Shrewsbury School stands tall behind them, symbolizing centuries-old traditions and academic excellence. This photograph is part of "A Series of 50 Public Schools and Colleges" produced by R. & J. Hill Ltd. , London in 1923. It offers us a glimpse into early twentieth-century Britain while celebrating the rich heritage and architectural splendor associated with Shropshire's renowned educational institution. As we admire this black-and-white gem from The Print Collector collection, we can't help but reflect on how much has changed since then while appreciating how certain aspects endure through time – like education's enduring importance and iconic landmarks such as Shrewsbury School itself.
