EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1989, captures the essence of two Eton boys making their way to school in the quaint town of Eton, Berkshire, England. The boys, dressed in the traditional uniform of the esteemed Eton College, proudly wear pin-striped trousers and tails that have become synonymous with the English public school system of the 1980s. The 1980s, often referred to as the "decade of excess," was a time of significant cultural and social change. However, at Eton College, the traditions of the past continued to thrive. The boys in this photograph embody the timeless charm and elegance of Etonian students, as they walk along the cobblestone streets, surrounded by the historic architecture of the town. The pin-striped trousers and tails, a symbol of the school's rich history, have been a part of the Eton uniform since the late 19th century. The boys' coats are adorned with brass buttons and gold braid, adding to the grandeur of their attire. The boys' expressions convey a sense of pride and determination as they make their way to the prestigious institution that has shaped the lives of countless British leaders, intellectuals, and nobility. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when tradition and history held a strong grip on the fabric of English society. The image serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Eton College and the unique experiences of its students.
