EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing male students hard at work in the Masons Shop of Northern Polytechnic, London, back in 1911. The image transports us to an era when education was highly valued and vocational skills were honed with dedication. In this snapshot of history, we witness young men diligently shaping pieces of stone under the watchful eye of their teacher. The atmosphere is one of focused determination as they saw away at the raw material before them. Their teacher stands nearby, offering guidance and expertise as they navigate the intricacies of masonry. The location itself exudes a sense of heritage and tradition; Holloway Road in Islington serves as the backdrop for this educational institution where knowledge is passed down from generation to generation. This photograph provides a glimpse into not only the technical aspects but also the camaraderie among these aspiring craftsmen. Preserved by the London County Council Photograph Library and now held by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this image speaks volumes about an era long gone yet still resonates with its timeless depiction of learning and craftsmanship. It serves as a testament to both individual ambition and collective progress within society. As we admire this piece captured over a century ago, it reminds us that education has always been pivotal in shaping lives while highlighting how far we have come since those days on Holloway Road.
