EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Wellington College in Berkshire, England, as it stood proudly in 1855. Designed by renowned architect John Shaw, the South Front of the college emanates an air of grandeur and sophistication. The school itself holds great historical significance, having been founded by Queen Victoria and the Earl of Derby just four years after this image was captured. It stands as a national monument dedicated to honoring the Duke of Wellington. Published in The Illustrated London News, this engraving captures not only the architectural beauty but also provides a glimpse into education during the 19th century. The landscape surrounding Wellington College adds to its charm and tranquility. The monochrome aesthetic lends a timeless quality to this print, transporting viewers back to a bygone era when public schools were revered institutions for learning and personal growth. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded of the rich history that lies within these walls. The collaboration between Unknown (creator), John Shaw (architect), and even figures like Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington himself has resulted in an enduring masterpiece that continues to inspire awe. This print serves as a testament to their vision and dedication towards creating an educational institution that would stand strong for generations to come.
