EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic Robert Raikess House in Southgate Street, Gloucester. The enchanting engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, is now part of a private collection. The image holds significant cultural and religious importance as it relates to Robert Raikes, the visionary behind the Sunday School movement. This illustration was featured in J Henry Harris' book titled "Robert Raikes, the Man who Founded the Sunday School" published around 1890. The house itself stands proudly on Southgate Street, serving as a symbol of Christian education and its impact on society. It represents a pivotal moment in history when educational opportunities were extended beyond traditional institutions to reach children from all walks of life. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving, we are transported back to a time when Robert Raikes dedicated himself to improving access to education for young people. His pioneering efforts laid the foundation for what would become known as Sunday Schools - places where children could learn about their faith while also receiving basic literacy and numeracy skills. This print not only captures architectural beauty but also serves as a powerful reminder of how one person's vision can transform communities and shape future generations through education.
