EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the grandeur and rich history of King Edward VII School in Kings Lynn, Norfolk. Established in 1510 during the reign of Henry VIII, this prestigious institution has stood as a pillar of education for centuries. The image showcases the school's magnificent facade, which was rebuilt in 1906 under the patronage of King Edward VII himself. Set against a backdrop of lush sports grounds, where students engage in football matches with enthusiasm and vigor, this snapshot encapsulates both academic excellence and sporting prowess. The goal post stands tall on the field, symbolizing determination and teamwork that have been instilled within generations of students who have passed through these hallowed halls. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this picture from the 1920s. It evokes nostalgia for an era when cigarette cards were collected by enthusiasts across Britain. This particular print was part of Sunripe Cigarettes' series featuring notable public schools and colleges. As we admire this scene, it is important to recognize that King Edward VII Academy continues its educational legacy today as a comprehensive school. Its enduring commitment to providing knowledge and shaping young minds echoes the vision set forth by its royal benefactors - Prince Albert Edward (later known as King Edward VII) and his predecessor King Henry VIII.
