EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Some Staple Authors Sleeping on their Shelves, 1926" offers a glimpse into the prestigious College Library at Eton College. Established in the fifteenth century, this rare book and manuscript library holds immense cultural value and is of international importance. The image showcases the timeless beauty of this historic institution's interior. The composition captures a view through one of the library's bookshelves, revealing an array of literary treasures that have stood the test of time. Among them are notable works such as a Gutenberg Bible and pages from Darwin's groundbreaking manuscript for "Origin of Species". These books rest peacefully on their shelves, seemingly asleep but ready to awaken minds with their profound knowledge once again. The monochrome aesthetic adds a sense of nostalgia to the scene, transporting viewers back to the roaring twenties when this photograph was taken.
