EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the mid-late 19th century, specifically around the year 1900. The image showcases a group of Blue-coat boys standing in front of Buckingham Palace, accompanied by none other than Queen Victoria herself. These young scholars are students from Christs Hospital School, distinguished by their iconic blue coats. The photograph is an illustration taken from "The Life and Times of Queen Victoria" by Robert Wilson, Volume IV. It offers a glimpse into the educational system and dress code prevalent during that era. The boys don their uniform with pride while the female figures kneel respectfully before their sovereign. Buckingham Palace stands tall in the background, its grandeur serving as a testament to both power and tradition. This historic building has witnessed countless significant moments throughout British history. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to this portrait engraving captured by W Stacey. Through this print, we can almost hear echoes of children's laughter mingling with whispers of royal conversations. Queen Victoria's presence symbolizes her dedication to education and her role as Queen of Great Britain and Ireland during this period. Her commitment to nurturing future generations shines through in this snapshot frozen in time. Overall, this print encapsulates not only an important historical moment but also highlights the significance of education within Victorian society under Queen Victoria's reign.
