EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Leicester Square in central London during the 1930s. The image showcases Archbishop Tenison School, a remarkable building that was established in 1895. However, what makes this location truly special is its historical significance as the former site of William Hogarth's house. William Hogarth, a renowned artist from the 18th century, once resided on or near this very spot. His artistic legacy adds an extra layer of charm and cultural richness to this educational institution. The photograph captures the school's impressive architectural design against the backdrop of a vibrant cityscape. The monochrome tones lend an air of nostalgia and timelessness to the scene, transporting viewers back to an era when education played a vital role in shaping young minds. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but imagine generations of students who have passed through these doors over decades past. It serves as a testament to both continuity and progress within British education. This particular print is part of "Wonderful London" edited by Arthur St John Adcock—a publication that celebrates various aspects of London life throughout history. Through Donald McLeish's lens, we are granted access to a moment captured long ago—an enduring reminder that even amidst change and development, echoes from our past continue to shape our present landscape.
