EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases a lively scene of athletic sports by the Westminster scholars. The image captures the energy and enthusiasm of young boys participating in a hurdle race at Vincent Square, London, England. Published in the Illustrated London News on November 5,1864, this print offers a glimpse into the physical education and sporting culture of that era. The vibrant atmosphere is palpable as these schoolchildren engage in friendly competition while honing their athletic skills. The determination on their faces reflects their commitment to excellence and personal growth through sports. With each leap over the hurdles, they demonstrate agility and strength beyond their years. This snapshot of British history not only highlights the importance placed on physical activity but also sheds light on Westminster School's dedication to nurturing well-rounded individuals. It serves as a reminder that even in an academic setting, fostering athleticism plays an integral role in shaping character and instilling discipline. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bernard Platman Antiquarian Collection, we are transported back to a time when children embraced outdoor activities with unbridled joy. This engraving immortalizes both an era gone by and timeless values such as teamwork, perseverance, and healthy competition that continue to shape our society today.
