EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1891, capturing a moment in time at Christs Hospital, Newgate Street. The artist behind this masterpiece is William Luker, who skillfully portrays a group of boys enjoying their leisure time in the school's playground. Christs Hospital, also known as the Bluecoat School, holds a significant place in English education history. Established during the 16th century in Greyfriars, London, it has been providing coeducational day and boarding schooling for centuries. This image showcases not only the architectural beauty of the school building but also offers a glimpse into the lives of these young students. The boys are seen dressed uniformly in their distinctive bluecoats while engaging in various activities within this bustling cityscape. Their youthful energy fills the air as they socialize and enjoy each other's company amidst their studies. This photograph serves as a testament to both British heritage and childhood innocence during that era. It transports us back to an age when children found joy even within urban landscapes like London City. William Luker's artistic talent allows us to appreciate every intricate detail captured on film - from the facade of buildings lining Newgate Street to each individual expression on these schoolboys' faces. As we admire this monochrome snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but feel connected to history itself; it reminds us of how far education has come while cherishing traditions that have stood strong for centuries.
