EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Long Chamber, 1844" takes us back in time to the mid-17th century at Eton College. The image captures a significant era in the history of this prestigious British boarding school, showcasing the living conditions of its students during that period. The dormitory, known as Long Chamber, is depicted as a vast and sparsely furnished space. Its bareness reflects the simplicity of student life at the time, with minimal comforts or amenities provided. The room appears dimly lit by natural light streaming through partially closed shutters, adding an atmospheric touch to the scene. In this historical setting, we see a lone figure seated on one of the beds engrossed in reading a book. This solitary individual represents one among many boys who resided within these walls while pursuing their education at Eton College. The photograph originates from Sir H. C Maxwell Lyte's renowned publication "A History of Eton College (1440-1910)" published by Macmillan and Co. Limited in 1911. It serves as both an educational resource and a visual testament to Eton's rich heritage. As we gaze upon this intriguing image captured by an unknown creator from over a century ago, it prompts us to reflect on how far education has evolved since then while appreciating the significance of institutions like Eton College throughout history.
