EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting streets of Wapping in east London during the 1930s. The image showcases an old charity school for boys and girls, steeped in history and founded way back in 1695. Standing proudly behind this educational institution is St John of Wapping School, a testament to its enduring legacy. The statues of bluecoat scholars that adorn the scene add a touch of solemnity, reminding us of the importance placed on education and religion during those times. A poignant inscription below them further emphasizes their significance. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are drawn to the graves nestled within St Johns Churchyard. These silent markers pay tribute to lives lived long ago, serving as a reminder of mortality's grip on humanity. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and texture to the composition, enhancing its nostalgic charm. This image was captured by Charles and featured in "Wonderful London". Volume 2 edited by Arthur St John Adcock. Transport yourself back through centuries as you explore this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection. Immerse yourself in the rich heritage of Tower Hamlets while reflecting on how education, religion, and death have shaped society throughout British history.
