"Westminster School: A Legacy of Excellence and Tradition" Step back in time to the 18th century, where the illustrious Westminster School stood as a beacon of education and enlightenment. Founded by Thomas Holles Pelham, Duke of Newcastle, K. G. , in the mid-18th century, this esteemed institution has nurtured young minds for centuries. One cannot discuss Westminster School without mentioning its legendary headmaster, Dr. Busby. Revered and respected by all who crossed his path, he left an indelible mark on both students and staff alike during his tenure in 1881. The school's dedication to arts and culture is evident through their vibrant productions. The scene from Terence's play Adelphi performed at Westminster School showcases the talent and creativity that flourished within these hallowed halls. As we delve deeper into history with engravings depicting life at Westminster School, we catch glimpses of Latin prayers echoing through its corridors—a testament to the enduring traditions upheld by generations past. End-of-term celebrations bring joyous moments shared among college dormitories' walls—laughter reverberating as friendships are forged amidst academic pursuits. From a bird's eye view engraving capturing the bustling West End of London to our artists' meticulous notes documenting life within these walls—the spirit of learning permeates every inch of this prestigious establishment. Imagination takes flight as we envision London seen from a balloon—an apt metaphor for the boundless opportunities awaiting those fortunate enough to be part of this educational haven. Athletic prowess is not forgotten either; engravings showcase spirited athletic sports played by talented scholars—a testament to holistic development fostered at Westminster School throughout history. Through lithographs portraying schoolboys across ages, we witness how values like discipline, camaraderie, and intellectual curiosity have remained steadfast over time—a reminder that some things never change.
