EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph takes us back in time to the era before the devastating Great Fire of London. The image showcases the magnificent Old St. Paul's School, standing proudly amidst the bustling cityscape. Published in Lord Brougham's renowned book "Old England's Worthies" this print offers a glimpse into the rich history of one of London's oldest educational institutions. Founded by John Colet in 1509, this esteemed boys' school occupied a significant place within the churchyard of Old St. Paul's Cathedral. Its grand facade, depicted with meticulous detail, reflects the architectural style prevalent during the 16th century. The lithograph reminds us that this iconic structure met its tragic fate when it was destroyed during the catastrophic fire that ravaged London in 1666. However, despite its destruction, Old St. Paul's School rose from its ashes and relocated to Barnes where it continues to thrive as a free school today. As we admire this historical gem captured by an anonymous English artist from the 19th century, we are transported back to a time when education played an integral role in shaping society. This evocative print serves as a testament to both resilience and progress – reminding us that even amidst adversity, knowledge endures and flourishes throughout generations.
