EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the grandeur of Alexandra House in Kensington, London. The image showcases the architectural beauty of this historic building, which served as a home for lady students of art, music, and science during the 19th century. Opened by the Princess of Wales herself, Alexandra House became a hub for intellectual pursuits and creative endeavors. The crowd depicted in the print hints at the vibrant atmosphere that must have filled its halls. Lady students from various disciplines gathered here to expand their knowledge and skills under one roof. The detailed engravings highlight not only the magnificent structure but also capture glimpses into daily life within its walls. One can observe elegantly dressed ladies strolling through its corridors or engaged in conversations while wearing fashionable clothing of that era. As we gaze upon this historical gem frozen in time, it is impossible not to marvel at both its architectural splendor and significance as an educational institution for women. This engraving serves as a window into a bygone era when princesses championed education for all genders and buildings like Alexandra House stood tall as symbols of progress. Through this print, we are reminded of how far society has come since 1887 while acknowledging those who paved the way for future generations' pursuit of knowledge and creativity.
