EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Middle Block and Senior School at Dulwich College, taken around 1935 by Donald McLeish. Located in south-east London, this prestigious boys' public school was established in 1619 by Edward Alleyn, a renowned Elizabethan actor. Originally intended to provide education for twelve underprivileged boys, it has since evolved into an independent fee-paying institution. The magnificent buildings depicted in the photograph were designed by Charles Barry Junior and opened their doors in 1870. The neo-Gothic architecture reflects the Victorian era's fascination with intricate detailing and grandeur. This architectural masterpiece stands as a testament to both its historical significance and enduring beauty. Dulwich College remains an esteemed educational establishment that continues to shape young minds today. Its rich history is deeply intertwined with the fabric of British society, making it a cherished landmark within the community. Donald McLeish's skillful capture transports viewers back in time, offering a glimpse into life at this distinguished institution during the mid-20th century. The monochrome composition adds depth and nostalgia to this remarkable cityscape. Preserved through Arthur St John Adcock's publication "Wonderful London" this image serves as a reminder of our collective heritage and celebrates the lasting impact of institutions like Dulwich College on education in England.
