"Unveiling the Layers of Privilege: From Workhouses to Palaces, a Historical Journey" Step into the past and witness the stark contrast between privilege and hardship. In "Christmas Day in the Workhouse, " we glimpse the harsh reality faced by those less fortunate. Yet, just beyond its walls lie opulent estates like that of the Marquess and Marchioness of Anglesey. Picture a large classroom at Harrow School, where future leaders are groomed amidst an atmosphere of exclusivity. Meanwhile, boys playing rugby football at Rugby School epitomize privilege on sports fields. The Bradley-Martin Ball transports us to another world as Cornelia Bradley Martin transforms into Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots. Such grandeur echoes Byzantine Emperor Constantine IV's retinue. Eton College courtyard stands as a symbol of prestige and tradition while Patsy Cornwallis-West captivates as an Irish-born aristocrat and mistress to King Edward VII in her black-and-white portrait. Doonagore Castle overlooks the vast Atlantic Ocean, reminding us that even ancient tower houses were once symbols of power and privilege. And within Eton College's hallowed halls lies a microcosm of societal divisions among schoolboys. From street scenes at Harrow School to annual cricket matches between Eton and Harrow at Lords Cricket Ground, these snapshots illustrate how privilege has shaped our history - both for better or worse.
