EDITORS COMMENTS
A tranquil scene from the early 1910s at Froebel Lake and Grove, part of Roehampton University in West London. Named after Friedrich Froebel, the pioneer of modern education who emphasized the unique needs and capabilities of children, this picturesque location was once home to Roehampton Teacher Training College, which adopted the Froebelian model. In this image, a groundsman diligently mows the lush, rolling lawns that surround the serene lake. The groundsman, dressed in a long-sleeved shirt and trousers, expertly guides a horse-drawn lawn mower, leaving neat piles of grass cuttings behind. The horse, adorned with a collar and bridle, appears calm and content as it pulls the mower through the verdant landscape. The Froebelian estate, with its meticulously maintained grounds, served as an idyllic setting for the education of future teachers. The lake, surrounded by the lush grove, provided a peaceful backdrop for learning and reflection. The groundsmen played a crucial role in maintaining the beauty and order of the estate, ensuring that the students were surrounded by an environment that fostered growth and inspiration. This photograph, drawn from the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and care that went into creating an educational environment that was both beautiful and conducive to learning. Today, Roehampton University continues to uphold the Froebelian legacy, providing a nurturing and supportive learning community for students from all walks of life.
