The image, captured by an English photographer from the 19th century and preserved by the London Metropolitan Archives, showcases rows upon rows of bookshelves that stretch as far as the eye can see. The library's interior exudes an atmosphere of wisdom and quiet contemplation. In this remarkable scene, we observe tables strategically placed between the shelves at one end of the room. These tables serve as inviting spaces for scholars and students alike to delve into their studies or engage in intellectual discussions. Every corner is steeped in history and knowledge, making it evident that Sion College was a hub for learning during its time.
