EDITORS COMMENTS
The Great Hall of Dulwich College, captured in this print from around 1878, showcases the grandeur and history of this esteemed boys' public school. Founded in 1619 by Edward Alleyn, a renowned Elizabethan actor, the college was initially established to provide education for twelve underprivileged boys. Over the centuries, it has evolved into an independent public school that continues to uphold its prestigious reputation. The neo-Gothic architecture of the Great Hall stands as a testament to Victorian design and craftsmanship. Its towering presence dominates the landscape of South-East London, blending seamlessly with the surrounding countryside. This image offers a glimpse into an era when education was highly valued and buildings were constructed with meticulous attention to detail. Edward Walford's publication 'Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, And Its Places' immortalizes this architectural marvel within its pages. The unknown creator of this photograph skillfully captures both the exterior beauty and historical significance of Dulwich College. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene frozen in time, we are reminded not only of Dulwich College's rich heritage but also its enduring commitment to providing exceptional education. This print serves as a window into a bygone era while reminding us that institutions like these continue to shape young minds even today.
