EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in British education and sports. Titled "The Wall, 1926" the image showcases the renowned Eton wall game being played on a strip of ground adjacent to an ancient brick wall dating back to 1717. The scene is filled with energy as young boys, clad in traditional sportswear of the era, engage in this unique ball game. Spectators line up along the vista, their eyes fixed on the intense action unfolding before them. The perspective from an elevated view adds depth and grandeur to the image, emphasizing both the architectural beauty of Eton College and its rich sporting heritage. This snapshot transports us back to early 20th-century England, where schoolchildren embraced physical activities as part of their education. The monochrome aesthetic lends a timeless quality to this piece of history captured by Christopher Hussey for Country Life magazine. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of the importance placed on team spirit and competition but also of how traditions endure through generations at prestigious institutions like Eton College. It serves as a testament to Britain's love affair with sports and its commitment to providing well-rounded education within private boarding schools.
