EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1926, offering a glimpse into the historic Upper School at Eton College. Nestled in the picturesque town of Eton, Berkshire, this prestigious boarding school for boys was established by King Henry VI in 1440. The image showcases the timeless beauty of the school's architecture, with its grand facade and intricate details that have stood strong for centuries. The photograph also highlights the natural splendor surrounding the institution, as a majestic tree gracefully frames the scene. Through one of its windows, we catch a glimpse of the vibrant school yard which has been an integral part of student life since its construction in the 1480s. However, history has not always been kind to this iconic establishment. During World War Two, a devastating bomb destroyed part of Upper School, leaving behind scars that serve as reminders of resilience and strength. As we admire this remarkable print captured by Christopher Hussey for Country Life magazine in London during 1926, it is impossible not to be transported back in time. This image encapsulates not only architectural brilliance but also symbolizes education's enduring power and tradition within British society. It serves as a testament to Eton College's rich heritage and status as one of Britain's most esteemed educational institutions.
