EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the distinguished figure of James John Hornby. As the headmaster of Eton College from 1868 to 1884, Hornby's influence on education and his notable achievements in various sports make him an intriguing subject. In this black and white portrait, captured by the talented artist Spy (Leslie Ward), we see Hornby standing tall and proud. Dressed in a formal overcoat and top hat, he exudes elegance and authority. His profile reveals a strong jawline and piercing eyes that hint at his determination. Hornby's background as a rower for Oxford University shines through in this image. The briefcase he carries symbolizes his dedication to academia while also alluding to the disciplined nature required for rowing. This combination of intellectual prowess and athletic ability makes him an exceptional leader within Eton College. The Victorian era setting adds depth to the portrait, transporting us back to a time when education was highly valued, and traditional values prevailed. The engraving technique used by Spy enhances the details of Hornby's features while infusing the image with character. This print serves as both a historical document capturing an influential figure from the late 19th century as well as an artistic representation showcasing Leslie Ward's talent as an illustrator. It is undoubtedly a valuable piece that offers insight into James John Hornby's multifaceted life beyond being just another headmaster at Eton College.
