EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment in history - the intense scene of Alfred Wharton attacking Dawlish. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving is a testament to their skill and attention to detail. The image portrays a significant event that took place at Eton College, showcasing the traditional values and practices of education during that time. The intensity of the scene is palpable as Wharton fiercely attacks Dawlish, symbolizing discipline and punishment within these prestigious public schools. The composition exudes energy and movement, with every stroke expertly etched onto paper. It serves as a reminder of how physical sports were once intertwined with education, highlighting the importance placed on athleticism and strength in shaping young minds. As we delve into this historical artwork, it prompts us to reflect on how educational practices have evolved over time. While violence may no longer be tolerated or encouraged within modern institutions, this engraving offers us a glimpse into an era where such actions were deemed acceptable for character development. Preserved within private collections for years, this remarkable piece has found its way into our hands through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection. Its presence serves as a visual reminder of our ever-changing understanding of education's role in society while honoring the artistic talent behind its creation.
