EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the picturesque Christs Hospital in West Horsham, beautifully rendered in vibrant colors through a lithographic process. The image, created by an anonymous English School artist from the 20th century, is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of this renowned educational institution. The scene depicted here was originally featured as an illustration for a set of cigarette cards produced by Willss Cigarettes during the early 20th century. These cards focused on schools and their distinctive coats of arms and mottos. Christs Hospital's emblem, symbolizing its proud history and values, takes center stage in this composition. Heraldry enthusiasts will appreciate the intricate details of this artwork, which prominently displays various symbols associated with education and chivalry. The school's motto adds depth to the visual narrative, emphasizing its commitment to nurturing young minds while instilling principles of honor and integrity. While weapons are subtly incorporated into the design as defensive armaments typically found in heraldic imagery, it is important to note that they do not represent any form of aggression or violence associated with weaponry. Instead, they serve as traditional elements within heraldic tradition. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this historical gem for art lovers to admire today. With its harmonious blend of symbolism and aesthetics, this print captures both the architectural beauty of Christs Hospital and its enduring legacy as an esteemed seat of learning.
