EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historic moment of Queen Victoria's arrival at Wellington College for its inauguration in February 1859. The school, located about twelve miles south of Windsor, was built in memory of the esteemed Duke of Wellington, who had passed away just two years prior. The Duke's legacy lived on through this prestigious institution, which was established to provide an exceptional education for the sons of the British aristocracy and military officers. The Queen's presence at the inauguration ceremony added an air of grandeur and significance to the occasion. Dressed in her regal attire, she is seen stepping out of her carriage, accompanied by an entourage of nobles and dignitaries. The crowd of onlookers, including students and faculty, eagerly await her arrival, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. Wellington College, with its imposing architecture and stunning grounds, stands proudly in the background. The school's iconic Tudor-style buildings, designed by the renowned architect Henry Sandes, were meant to inspire a sense of tradition and excellence. The college's motto, "Virtute et Scientia" (By Valour and Learning), was inscribed above the main entrance, reflecting the institution's commitment to instilling both moral character and academic knowledge in its students. This photograph is a testament to a moment in history when the monarchy and education intersected, marking the beginning of an illustrious chapter in the story of Wellington College. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and tradition of a bygone era, as well as the enduring importance of education in shaping the lives of future generations.
